You may have noticed something *slightly* different when you logged on to fitPod. We're now fitMusic. Why the change? Fitness and music ain't just about pods. It's about any and all forms of listening to music while you work out.

We are pleased to announce that on January 25, 2007, fitPod membership passed the 10,000 mark.

fitPod enters 2007 on a roll. Recently named a "Best of 2006" in the iTunes People's Choice category (see related story ), fitMix downloads passed the one million mark on December 29, 2006.

iTunes has named the fitPod fitMix Archives podcast among its "People's Choice, Best Podcasts of 2006." The fitMix Archives remains a perennial favorite among all iTunes podcasts, and ends the year as iTune's #1 Health podcast and #1 Fitness and Nutrition podcast.

I used this podcast on Thursday to run a 5 mile stretch and I felt like this one was being phoned in. The first 2 songs very quite slow and almost depressing. There was another song that sounded like something off of Radiohead's "Kid A" album that was slow and not inspiring. Maybe I'm holding on too much to that mix from a few weeks ago (Rejuv-A-motioN) that I absolutely LOVED and made me a return customer here. But I also understand the need to experiment and variety IS the spice of life. I just needed something more than that the other day. I'm sure it is hard to make a place for yourself here when most running music sounds a lot alike.
