We all find ourselves scouring our collection of iTunes music for training music. Before my last half-marathon I carefully chose just enough music to finish without hearing one song twice. I timed it just so I would make my goal. As the race came to a close (iPods were legal) I picked up the pace as the final song came on. Normally I would have waited much later to pick up the pace for the final sprint – but the song urged me on. And so I only heard the first few seconds of the first song. Mission accomplished.
Finding the right music takes a little time. Our buddy Fitz Cahall over at The Dirtbag Diaries has sweet music on his site and I from time to time grab it and go.
My latest find from KCRW in LA is Loney Dear. The lead is Emil Svanangen an ex-pro cyclist. Spin Magazine says of Loney Dear, “Despair has never sounded so sweet.” But I beg to differ. There have been a few long climbs I have made where I could have used his music. Check them out on their site and their myspace page.

Saturday morning I got up early, dressed quietly, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, slipped quietly into the garage to hook the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.
The wind was blowing 50 mph. I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad throughout the day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. There I cuddled up to my wife’s back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, “The weather out there is terrible.”
My loving wife of 20 years replied, “Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?”
I still don’t know if she was joking, but I’ve given up fishing.
