Sony makes a lightweight Grey colored one for $10. I use it 5 x/wk (30-35mil/wk/avg) and have to replace it about once a year. I constantly fiddled with earwraps. The only drawback to headband style is if you wear a head/ear wrap in cold weather.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1166664533849055402006-12-20T17:28:00.000-08:002006-12-20T17:28:00.000-08:00Just wanted to let you know of a new website launc...Just wanted to let you know of a new website launched yesterday www.run2rhythm.com that you’ll be interested in.<BR/><BR/>Runners/Joggers can download music specifically designed for their running requirements in 15, 30, 45 or 60 minute lots, and at certain beats per minute. So no changing of songs, breaks or beat disruptions. It is not commercial music, so you can't hear it on the radio or buy it in the stores, however because a number of different genres are included there is sure to be something to cater for everyone’s tastes from country and funk, to techno and hiphop.<BR/><BR/>It is best to listen to the samples via headphones, as the sound is truly amazing and clear. Simply listening via your computer does not do it justice.<BR/><BR/>Would be interested in your comments and feedback. And please feel free to spread the word to your jogging friends and colleagues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1153170377049382612006-07-17T14:06:00.000-07:002006-07-17T14:06:00.000-07:00I use the word "smilage" when referring to how lon...I use the word "smilage" when referring to how long I can run while smiling.

That said, I look for songs that help me to pace myself since I tend to overdo it too quickly. My favorites are Ah-ha: Take on me; Andre3000: Hey ya (I play this over and over because I can kill a couple of miles before I get tired of it); Queen: Don't stop me now (this song to me is what MJ's Don't stop til you get enough is to you); Phish: Back on the train; and my favorite off-beat song is Prince: Kiss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1140487466112046632006-02-20T18:04:00.000-08:002006-02-20T18:04:00.000-08:00Grateful Dead...I agree, I always start out with C...Grateful Dead...<BR/>I agree, I always start out with China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider.

I find the standard issue ear buds drop out my ears after about 1km and I'm using just too much energy fiddling with them. I've tried the Sony model that wraps, supposedly, around the ear but they didn't stay in either.

I was at mile 15 during the Death Valley 30K and found that when "Race is On" came on, I was flying, singing, laughing and having a great time.

Something about fading songs together that fades the miles together too. Before you know it, you're done. :) Works to some extent (at least for me) with hip-hop or even certain free-form Bhangra type stuff. I know other's that feel the same about house or free-form jazz but I just can't seem to sustain an interest in it long enough. Then again, I've never ran 50k at once either, probably hard to maintain interest in much of anything at that point.<br /><br />MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1103679475628331332004-12-21T17:37:00.000-08:002004-12-21T17:37:00.000-08:00I'll keep these guidelines in mind.
