RUNNING WITH BREAKING BENJAMIN

Got myself recently Breaking Benjamin album (thanks to the indirect influence of these three individuals: T, N and M. You know who you are). All this time, I only have Diary of Jane in my ipod. Last night I downloaded the whole album into my ipod and decided to use the whole album in my running this morning. I was quite hesitant actually because I was not sure if the album is "RUNNABLE" (as I defined a good running song). But how would I know if I don't try, right? After my workout this morning, I concluded that Breaking Benjamin album sure is a "RUNNABLE" album. Will sure use it again in my next run. The following is a summary of my workout this morning:

• Stretching (Yea!!!!!!!............)
• 10 minutes walk at 6K/hr
• 4K run (Speed range = 10.5K/hr to 12.8K/hr; Time = 19 minutes 51 seconds)
• 10 minutes walk at 6.3K/hr
• 3K run (Speed range = 10.7K/hr to 13.0K/hr; Time = 14 minutes 47 seconds)
• 10 minutes walk at 6.3K/hr
• 3K run (Speed range = 10.8K/hr to 13.2K/hr; Time = 14 minutes 42 seconds)
• 20 minutes on elliptical machine (Resistance = 8; Course = Himalayan Trek)

BREAKING BENJAMIN

Since this blogging "thingy", I have discovered many new things. One of these new things (for me) is this SO-I-THOUGHT-NEW-BAND, (which actually is not), "BREAKING BENJAMIN". This has been an obsession amongst my students. Even in one of my students' blog, one of the songs (BREATH, I think)is automatically played every time the blog is visited (But usually I never pay so much attention to this particular song in this student's blog) I was wondering about this obsession. This morning my curiosity was answered. While I was driving to school, on air, a song by BREAKING BENJAMIN was played. The song really blew me........oops. Now I am currently surfing the net for songs by this band. I am sure the songs could be my possible running companion.

{Only last week one of my FITNESS CLUB student members let me listened to her MP3 collections. Believe it or not, one of the songs was a song from the BEATLES!! Hmmm... I was born when this band was in their prime time. Do not be offended OK, shouldn't you be listening to up-to-date bands?.... Hmmm (again!)}
