Like 80s music. Or pop. I've never had a problem with the beat thing ruining my run, but I think the music does make me go faster when OMDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937425894428802591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-75134052117141677012007-08-30T19:47:00.000-04:002007-08-30T19:47:00.000-04:00Oh, duh.
