Winds remain unceasing, whereas yesterday I opted for the treadmill in the morning because I was unmotivated and still a bit lethargic after the weekend, today I went outdoors. I don't think it was actually as windy as yesterday evening, when I basically watched it go from sunny to questionably swirly cloudy. John has jumped on the treadmill bandwagon and searched out capable locales in B'ville. I must say that I curiously felt pretty good yesterday afternoon after a morning running easy with some inclines thrown in. The treadmill provided more cushioning than the roads would have and I think it allowed for a little more recovery due to less pounding. I'm going to continue to utilize this curious machine and see what I think of its effects on the fitness. And yes my indignation has subsided since I found out about this guy's use of the 'mill. I did end up running a kind of marathon effort thing this morning, although I have no idea how fast I was going because I ran 5 miles into the wind pretty easy to start and then the next 7 or so were quicker with the wind at my back for the most part. I guess I'm going to track it up for a 5k this Saturday. I'm not real psyched for it but I'll at least try to not be super dead-legged.
There's a wealth of beer realted podcasts on itunes but they're a little tedious and long-winded. I think that people have this tendency to go a bit long becuase their a group of people who like to expound on a topic. SOme of the new music podcasts get so dull because these guys are just carrying on a conversation and while I understand that the better reviewed shows are ramblings and musings that people find entertaining, I think they would do well to keep it brief and on a predetermined topic. Something like the Wine Spectator video podcast is much more concise and to the point. I guess I'm not as big of a fan of the talk radio type of podcast. The evolution of these types of shows is definitely the video podcast, because part of the experience is visual not just taste or oral sentiment. The Craft Brew Radio Feed is alright, although I wasn't impressed by their chocolate knowledge, in a pairing episode.
