Shuffling off to exercise-alo.
I’ve got to say, the new iPod Shuffle is super-cool. I wish I had thought of the clipping mechanism. My first-generation Shuffle already feels practically weightless, but the armband I wear while jogging is kind of annoying. Sometimes it chafes me. The clip is the perfect solution, except for nudist runners. Which I am not.
I’m a little concerned about it being made of aluminum, though. Doesn’t it get hot in the sun?
I’ve been feeling kind of in an exercise rut lately. Somebody (yes, you, N.) suggested breaking up a daily workout into two chunks, the logic being that you get twice the post-workout elevated metabolism time. I got up a few minutes early today and knocked out a mile and a half on the treadmill first thing. It certainly put me in a better mood than I usually am in the morning, so that was nice. Plus, it’ll seem like a treat tonight when I only have to do an abbreviated version of my typical run.
The only downside was that I didn’t want to have the TV on too loud and disturb Denny. Did you know that the local morning news programs don’t seem to have closed captioning? How rude. I guess I’ll use my Shuffle next time.
If you’re looking for something to listen to on your shuffle (I don’t know if you watch Ghost Hunters at all) there is a TAPS Podcast now that is fairly entertaining.
Here’s a link to the podcast RSS feed: http://www.tapspararadio.libsyn.com/rss
There is also a new Splendid Table podcast. I haven’t heard it yet, but I’m sure it is of at least the same quality as the NPR program.
