Any runners? [View all]

Wondering if you use an mp3 player or ipod while running and what you like to listen to?

I download podcasts, mostly npr current events shows, to listen to during my daily runs.

I occasionally go to races, and always use music to get pumped up for a faster pace. My favorites include everything from Springsteen to movie soundtracks to classical violin concertos.
