This morning's walk brought to you by...

Soft Cell's Tainted Love

I am not one to just listen to music.  If I have anything to do that requires concentration (except house cleaning*) I prefer it to be quiet.  I won't hear anything when I concentrate, so ambient music is a waste on me.  I do like to listen to music when I walk.  It's been about a year since I've exercised listening to music so I am enjoying hearing songs I have heard in a while, such as the one listed above. 

*the best cleaning music for me is Gregorian Chants.  Why, I don't know but I can clean for hours listening to the right CD.

Walking IS easy

So for the moment that's what I will call the blog.  It's the only consistent exercise I usually can manage, and most of all I enjoy it.  So there.  

I guess I have to change my name from Round Runner to something else.  Waddling Walker?

Rename the blog?

Better living through chemical intervention

I have tired to get into running several times in my life, but it wasn't possible until I wen on a 60 mg dose of Cymbalta.  My exercise drive shot up and my interest in running bloomed.  Unfortunately after about 18 months I couldn't sleep well at night so I dropped my dose down to 30 mg.  My mood is great, but my exercise drive, particularly my drive to run is totally shot.  On the up side I sleep like the dead again and I can concentrate while at work.

This makes me wonder about how much of my personality and likes/abilities are totally dependent on my brain chemistry.  Which ultimately, I guess is all of them.  Duh!  Part of the reason I haven't been keeping my blog up to date is that I feel a bit like a fraud posting under the current title.  So I think I will change the name to reflect my current state of exercise/being.

Any suggestions?
