In other words, I didn't need to pay attention to the run, other than checking my form and my pace every now and then. I'm not sure if I would have the same experience if I was running a different course (or pushing a faster pace). But, there are other podcasts that I think would demand less attention.<br /><br />I'll add those particular stories to my list! And, do check out the Ishiguro story. It's creepy and suspenseful and cool.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308509561834397951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217670599100952035.post-48011818489608760262012-01-31T15:14:46.658-05:002012-01-31T15:14:46.658-05:00This is amazing.

Two weren't very good, but I REALLY enjoyed Orhan Pamuk reading Vladimir Nabokov's "My Russian Education", Salaman Rushdie reading Donald Barthelme's "Concerning the Bodyguard", and Tobias Wolff reading Stephanie Vaughn's "Dog Heaven." I'm hooked! (It also made the 3.5 hour drive just FLY by.)<br /><br />As for listening while running, i'm curious to see how this will work. Between paying attention to the run, and listening to the story over loud traffic, I figure it might be problematic, but I plan on giving it a try during my next morning run.gibsonmeigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094122509371844728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217670599100952035.post-55963558043093590752012-01-31T15:08:59.750-05:002012-01-31T15:08:59.750-05:00that's interesting!
do you find that you get ...that's interesting!<br /><br />do you find that you get too engaged in the story and can't concentrate on the run (from someone who falls a lot, it's important that i at least somewhat pay attention to where i'm putting my feet)?erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02002087469616786196noreply@blogger.com
