    All right, I am following the tag. Let more come.
-Sweet! You can count on it. This is really, really fun. I see it as much about presenting sound/music as it is about presenting information/content -I really like this aspect. I have some ideas for my next one and I'm looking forward to starting on it.

    Running is part of sports for me, so I run as part of my tennis training and sprinting is a huge part of most sports. I might even pick it up. I really need to move more.
-This is exactly the way I felt about running prior to meeting Cliff and having him convince me to give it a more formal shot. When it's not part of another sport and you are just running, it becomes much more transformative both physically and meditatively.

Oh, and you're right... treadmills suck. If indeed running leads to post coitus like feelings, then a treadmill would be the condom.

Maybe I'll need to talk to one of my friends. He is a runner too, so maybe he can give me some advice and a reason to run. I'll have see how fitness will turn out though. That alone will take a LOT of time (about 1 to 2 hours, 4 days a week as it stands now)

I always suggest running with someone that is "better" at it than you. It's a great way to progress.
