Boom Boom Pow

The marathon is one week from tomorrow. I am so, so excited. So excited that I am updating my Shuffle playlist. I wish I didn't love music so much. And those dang Black Eyed Peas? They get me every time. What's up with the $1.29 songs on iTunes? Geesh. My bank account would probably enjoy it more if I didn't like music either. A few things I have been thinking about while grooving to Boom Boom Pow:

Is there a benefit to listening to music while working out? I found this article interesting:

Is there any way I would be able to run 26.2 miles without my lovely shuffle? Absolutely. No. Way.
