Music makes it so much easier to get runner's high though, and I can easily run twice as long when that happens. And Starting Strength is a workout book/routine designed around doing composite weightlifting, taking it slowly/trying to learn because it's something I've never really paid much attention to/tried before.

And thanks, dunno if publishing will happen, but I enjoy the work very much, and that's all that matters to me for now!

yeah, weight lifting is a hard one for me. I've really only done it for one period of my life. I'll admit, it's when I was in the best shape of my life but still, it was difficult for me to maintain.

I did a video program called p90x and it was pretty intense. -Too intense to be sustainable as a long term lifestyle. That's why I quit. I really should get back in to it from a more realistic standpoint. It's really, really good for you.

I've recently begun listening to more pastoral music while running and I actually prefer it. The runners high comes with or without the music.

As for the publishing -sounds like you have the right approach. It really is all about enjoying the process. When you do that, good things tend to happen.
