Hi, guys ... hi, Mopsy.

It was nice of you to think of me. That was lovely. Thank you.

I've just looked up that CD and found it on play.com

I might order it.

I am quite fussy about my running tracks. They have to play at 162 beats/minute.

I have a playlist on my iPod of 162 bpm songs.

... which was a bit of a problem a few weeks back. It was full of tracks at 160 bpm.

I found my comfortable running pace had changed from 160 to 162. My stride length has obviously shortened a bit since last year.

160 to 162 doesn't sound drastic, but it means that after 30 seconds, the music had done 80 beats, and I had run 81 paces ... so I would be running on the wrong foot, and then I had to do a little "skip" to get back in time with the music.

So ... the 160 bpm playlist had to be wiped, and I now have a 162 bpm playlist.

No it's not, Vibe. It's actually quite slow.

It's just things like ...

Summer Song (Joe Satriani)

Things like that. And all perfect for my running pace. 12 km/h and 162 bpm.
