Let’s Play a Game…MARATHON MUSIC

November 12, 2007 in Blogging, Creativity, Fitness, Music with 27 Comments

Alright, let’s play a www.zakwhite.com GAME!

I need to make about a 2 hour playlist on my iPod of the ABSOLUTE PERFECT, most inspiring, motivating, upbeat music there is to listen to as I run my marathon at the end of this month. Here is how this will work:

  • Leave your top ten list of running songs by commenting HERE.
  • I will listen to all of the songs submitted, sort them, test them in my training even…
  • If I decide to use at least 2 of your 10 songs, I will put your name in a drawing for a cool prize.
  • You can submit as many top ten running song lists as you want, as long as there are no duplicate songs on any of your lists.
  • You MUST give me the name AND artist of each song.
  • The deadline for your top ten list(s) is NEXT TUESDAY, November 22nd. (I BUMPED THE DATE BACK)
  • A hint to help you win: Elton John, Norah Jones, and Michael Buble are some of my favorite artists out there, but I need stuff that’s a little more motivating than that…stuff that will pump me up to RUN HARD, FAST AND LONG…not stuff that will motivate me to stop pick daisies for Amber on my run

SO GO AHEAD…help me run my marathon by listing your top running songs NOW and maybe you’ll even win something!

Running with Google

October 27, 2007 in Blogging, Fitness, Goals, Technology with Comments Off

I ran 6.8 miles just now. I can’t feel my forearms because it was about 45 degrees outside. Good run. If you are like me and love to be able to track your progress when trying to reach a goal, GOOGLE has a sweet tool. It’s called “my maps.” Check out this map of my run this morning. Really cool tool for bikers or runners because you can map it and see exactly how far you went. Just thought I’d brag a little and share this really cool new feature of google maps.

The training for the 1/2 marathon I am running is going good. I have less than a month to be ready…pretty stinking scary!

There are timers that are haunting me right now…like this one:

That’s the timer for my 1/2 marathon that I will be running…it’s coming…FAST.

Then there are happy timers, like this one:

That’s how much more time until the new OS, Leopard arrives on my door step. :)

Time stinks. Time is of the essence, but time is now gone…
