i’ve been testing our the new spotify running feature ( more here ) and i love it. the commissioned originals playlists didn’t really do much for me. i’m sure they’ll figure that out, but i can run to the “electronic moves” playlist at 170-180 beats per minute all day long. not too many repeat songs after several hours of running. i only wish they’d let me “thumbs up/down” and make it easy for me to add songs to my own playlists.
i was enjoying it so much on an 8 mile run today that i thought they surely left money on the table because i’d gladly pay for this feature. then it occurred to me that i’m probably more valuable to some companies that would really like to know not just that i’m a runner but when i’m running and how often i run. right on cue, i heard an ad for a protein recovery beverage.
and then, a little more slowly than it probably should have, a lightbulb went off.
now, thanks to seasonal construction, there are four more traffic lights within a mile of each other on the same stretch of single lane road. UGH I NEED TO FIND A NEW ROUTE BECAUSE IT’S ALMOST LIKE BIG CITY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ( just kidding. sort of )!
( the light had just turned green when i snapped this picture so i was not moving and nobody was behind me 🙂
we’ve been staying on top of brushing frida every day so this is a small amount of hair from one brushing with a “shedding rake”. if you don’t brush every day then you get a large amount of hair which can be enough to fill a garbage bag.
