Merry Ipod Christmas!!!

Mister and I gave up our YMCA membership because we were flat out not going. We might get a trainer so we can train at home on crappy weather days. The only thing I think I will miss might be a spinning class or two.

Mister got me an Ipod Nano for Christmas. It's pretty spiff. I know it probably isn't a good idea to cycle in traffic with the earbuds in-- so I found this thingy from iHome. http://www.ihomeaudio.com/products.asp?product_id=10186 It is a portable speaker set that looks like it takes up a water bottle cage worth of space. I'm not sure how much it weighs or how well it works, but it is an idea. I think I found some other speaker accessory possibilities. It just doesn't seem like a good idea to be in and out of traffic with headphones on.

I am, however, comfortable enough to wear them out on the closed trail in the park. It is a closed loop for cyclists and annoying roller bladers. I also decided I wanted a good playlist or when I'm out there. I came across playlists at http://www.spinning.com/instructors/page.asp?id2=4609&id1=6 and also at Fitness Magazine's website http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/fitness/category.jhtml?categoryid=/templatedata/fitness/category/data/1156344442690.xml&psrc=fitplaylistwo

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas! I sure did.
