5K Running Playlist
Here is my updated 5K running playlist, for a run this coming Sunday morning. Let’s get it on!
And here is a link to the playlist on Spotify.
Customers who bought this coffee maker also bought… (Taken with instagram)
I thought this song was amazing the first time I heard it twelve years ago, and it hasn’t gotten any worse since then.
Find The Perfect Music For Your Run
Try jog.fm. Just enter your per mile time and it finds songs that match your pace. Then you can buy the songs on iTunes or Amazon or build a Spotify playlist.
I recommend listening to lots of Linkin Park.
Weekend Weight Gain
Based on my recent weekend weight yo-yoing, I asked my coworkers if they would like to take guesses on how much my weekend weight gain (WWG) would be for this past weekend.
First, there were a few questions asked of me to get a basis for an intelligent guess:
What was your WWG last weekend?
2.5 pounds.
How much weight have you lost this week?
Monday to Friday, I lost 2.8 pounds.
How many beers do you plan on drinking?
Maybe six total this weekend.
And, here were the guesses:
- Garrett: 2.2 pound gain
- Shawn: 1 pound loss
- Dan: 0.6 pound gain
- me: 0.6 pound loss
And now it’s time for the reveal…
Here was my Friday morning weight as shown here in Weightbot.
And here was this morning’s weight.
I didn’t lose the 0.6 pounds that I thought I would, but at least I did lose weight. So I say that is a victory.
5K Race Playlist
My favorite bands to listen to when running are:
- Linkin Park
- Green Day
- Muse (although they were left out this time around)
So, I came up with the perfect playlist for the race I am running tomorrow.
Also, by the time track 7 ends, I should be within the last minute of running.
Bellroy’s Slim Sleeve Wallet
I saw this wallet earlier today, and here were my first thoughts…
When I read:
Notes can be folded in 2 or 3 folds.
I thought, well that’s great that notes can be folded up and put into this wallet, but that isn’t of much use to me, because what I need is space to store cash, not pieces of paper that I use to write notes.
Then I saw this picture:
Ohhhh, by notes they mean cash. In that case, this wallet is perfect! I wonder how much it costs.
PRICE: $79.95
Yikes.
So, to me that immediately felt like too much money to spend on a wallet. I don’t know if that makes me cheap or crazy or something similar to this, but I don’t think I’ll be able to get myself to spend $80 on a wallet1 when up until now the average cost of all wallets I have owned is about $30.

If I did spend $80 on a wallet, I would no longer have the need for a “note compartment”, because I wouldn’t have any notes left to keep in there. ↩

Audium (iPhone App)
You’re allowed to use Coldplay’s cover art to sell your iPhone app? That sounds odd. But, it must be allowed, because Apple did approve this.
I have been trying hard to lose some weight and get myself back into shape. And I have had success so far. I lost about 15 pounds total from my heaviest weight earlier this year to now.
But take a look at each week in this graph. It is so easy to see where the weekends are. Somehow I have the ability to gain as much as six to seven pounds in just a three day period! And all I am doing is making it more difficult on myself. I spend a week dieting and exercising, and end up losing about four pounds, then I go and gain six by Monday morning and ruin everything.
