Tonight I learned many things while exercising:
1) If you clip your keys to the inside of your waistband, don't wear thin Jockey shorts.
2) Many people don't understand that running along an unlit path, at night, without a safety light, without reflectors, dressed in all dark gray or black, will make you hard to see. Remember that SNL Weekend Update skit from the 70s where Dan Aykroyd played the slimy Halloween costume maker, with costumes like a bag of oily rags and a lighter called "Johnny Human Torch"? There was one that was just an all black jumpsuit and hood called "The Invisible Pedestrian", which apparently is making a big comeback. (My favorite, by the way, was the bag of broken glass. I don't think it even had a name.)
3) Sometimes more even-paced music can help you get into a groove better than really hyper/hard music. I was zoning out to Joy Division for miles, and that is definitely not the band I would usually pick for a kick-ass cardio workout soundtrack.
4) Seriously, about the keys thing. Ouch.
