Although I don't like to run with music on the trails for a number of reasons, I can't get through a workout at the gym without doing so. In fact, most everyone I see at the gym is listening to their iPod or whatnot. I'm always curious what they're listening to. Giving in to stereotypes as we all invariably do (thankfully these stereotypes aren't as harmful as others), I imagine the men are listening to hip hop or faster rhythm rock music to get their adrenaline pumping and the women are listening to the likes of Lady Gaga, Britney, or something similar. These assumptions are terrible, I know, but I can't always help where my mind will take me. I also can't help but be totally jazzed and ready for a tough workout with the aid of . . . John Mayer? Inexplicable, but also inescapable. So, if you ever see me in the gym, you'll know who is crooning in my ear to get me through the minutes.
