YT: 12.65 m. 2 miles easy, 3x 10 min tempo runs, 1 mile easy. Lots of moms with big sunglasses and babies with closed eyes out today. I also saw a man standing in his yard talking into a stainless steel pot. I think he’s different than you and me.

Podrunner.com has a zillion free podcasts (make a donation!), mostly progressive and house music. I like to run with all kinds of music, but there’s nothing quite like electronic to pick me up and pull me through a long run.

Here are my top 5 faves of the moment, all about an hour long and between 135-155 bpm. The descriptions are Podrunner’s:

Strong – mind body heart beats
Easygoing – this one starts out a bit jazzy, moves on to a funky house vibe, and builds to a prog house finish to make your going a lot easier
Chants Meeting – a hypnotic, lulling workout mix that will zone you out and bring you back to earth hardly even aware of the calories you’ve burned
Paradox Alley – opposites at track
Breezy – An uplifting breath of fresh air that will move you along for nearly an hour
