If I didn't have the ability to listen to music while out on a run, there's a 98% chance I wouldn't run.
That's an actual scientific fact, folks. I did all sorts of equations and drew pictures of squares and got Matt Damon as Will Hunting from Good Will Hunting to do a long math problem on a chalkboard in order to sort that percentage out.
This page is home to a collection of posts where I list some of the songs that get me through running and stretching, and sometimes I'll just list stuff that I really heart listening to. The "Point-Two" in the page's title refers to the last .2 miles of a marathon, where good music and loud cheering is key. Enjoy!

Some Point-Two Oldies
Backstory: When this blog was born in April 2010, I signed off each post with a "Point-Two" tip of the day. Point-Twos often included songs that were meant to get you through those little battles we face every day.
