It felt good though I seem to be having some problems with the toenails on my right foot. By the end of the run my sock was almost completely claret. I'm hoping that I've not bought slightly too small shoes. They feel perfect. But there must be something wrong somewhere.
I've now got a new mp3 player. It is a very cheap Chinese imitation of an iPod shuffle. At 12 pounds it seems like a bargain.
Recently I've been listening to a mix put together by Villa called Silverlining. It's a collection of electronica from 2010. And well worth a listen.
Other favourites for running are the Black Angels, a neo-psych band from Austin Texas. (Plus they are really nice guys too. I met them after a gig in Bournemouth once and had a little chat with them)
The Pixies, one of my very favourite bands just don't work for me at all. Not sure why they don't, but I don't enjoy listening to them whilst running.
I thought maybe Black Francis screaming about UFO's and bizarre biblical tales might inspire me to fun faster, but alas no.
But then I guess it'd be kind of ironic if Black Francis wrote good music to exercise to. He doesn't look like the running type somehow. (Actually I met him once too. He wasn't very friendly)
