This was mine last yr
http://rateyourmusic.com/list/verds/city2surf_2010_mix

Came out pretty decent but I ran to parts of it previously and had a play around. When it felt like all the electronic stuff was bleeding into each other and I was losing interest while I was running, I threw in a track with vocals (even if they were wordless) because I found those easier to run to. I had Clams "I'm God" come on as I was running near the water at Rose Bay, which was quite nice. I didn't get the 75 mins I wanted (I hoped to have Clams "Gorilla"…

Was going to run this long weekend also but weather hasn't been kind

Route was my old City2Surf training route, from my place to Five Dock rowing club and back. Did it in about 50 mins, which is what I was getting at my peak. Walked heaps but my jogging pace is up significantly from last year, so plenty of room for improvement. Aiming for at least 45 on this now. Still have another 9 wks of training for City2Surf, provided I don't get sick again this year

Used it again at the gym on 08/06/11 doing mostly interval training…

"Because I always feel like running
Not away, because there is no such place
Because if there was I would have found it by now"

Decided to go for a run the other day. I haven't run in a while, so struggled big time, as I've been concentrating on trying to build up my upper body at the gym. Not terribly exciting stuff, but it's something to aim for in the next few mths before I go back to full on cardio when City2Surf rolls around in August.

So run was from Martin Place, through Domain to Woolomoolloo. Weaved through…

Been making quick playlists since I did City2Surf this year. Had a day off work to study. Decided to run from my house to the Five Dock Rowing Club (part of the Bay Run) then run back later in the early evening. It takes about 50 mins on a good day, no idea on distance, its probably around the 8km mark

List dictated by what is on ipod at the moment
1. M.I.A. - Bamboo Banga
2. Salem - Trapdoor
3. How to Dress Well - Walking This Dumb (Live)
4. Twin Shadow - Slow
5. Teengirl Fantasy - Dancing…

So I always do these min mixes on my ipod, depending on mood, need etc. Sometimes I'll go for a run and just quickly make one. Other times like today, its just a shit day so I make it, turn up the volume and do my work. My ipod Nanno is about 8gigs, so what's currently on it decides the playlist

I've learned that Fridays are always the worst day of the week in an office. There's the addition of wanting to get out early and it exacerbates every little problem that comes up and threatens to derail your Friday…

Ok no more gigs this year for me, so should be safe in posting this

Exams mid-next month effectively rule out the Meredith sideys I was interested in (AC, Crcodiles, Jarvis fucking Cocker) but I really need to bunker down right now. I *might* do the Thee Oh Sees/ECSR double-headline this Thurs but have a lot of month-end to get out before I go on study leave. Next 3 mths of next yr anyway should make up for missing these hopefully anyway

Off the top of my head, gigs I also should've gone to this year are:
St. Vincent @…
