Alright, I'm rather new to this, so I haven't tried a lot of different music, but so far the best CD for me is Moby's <i>Play</i>. Boy was I surprised when I played the Crash-B video: they use the same music!<br /><br />

I did my first 5k yesterday and did it in 32:37.9. <br /><br />Even though my time is rather slow, I have to say that I was just thrilled that I managed to complete it. At 2,500m I thought I was going to expire, but I per...
