damn. You should start looking at doing organized events this summer. I bet you'll be ready for 50 miles by the end of May and looking at a century before Autumn.
EDIT: Music... I listen to all sorts of stuff, but when William Topley comes on, I really start moving. Which is interesting cuz he's kinda bluesy and it's not like the beat is fast or anything. One of his more popular songs is Wake Up... your dreams sound so sad.
