late to the party

I recently got a new ipod nano as my big reward for reaching my goal weight. I know I'm late to the party with the whole ipod thing, but I'm filled with the excitement of a new discovery! I already ♥ my ipod.

The ipod is going to be a great support for both walking and cycling. I've now entered the world of podcasts. I listened to This American Life and a Fresh Air episode yesterday during a 19 mile ride. I could still hear the "on your lefts" of the jersey boys as they passed me, so it was safe to use on the trail.

The only music on my ipod so far is a favorite album, Pneumonia by Whiskeytown and a new song by Gomez. I'm thinking that aside from Whiskeytown, I'm mainly going to stick to new music. On that note, I'm outta here...going to hit the ol' walking path with my new toy.

Welcome to the Cult. I love my Turq - my Ipod. I haven't done the podcast thing yet. Just don't think to download. Congrats!

They also have streaming radio and podcast classes on just about every subject you could imagine. And music...I heart my ipod most of all!

CONGRATS to you!!!!! You are ahead of me! I just have a little shuffle & my hubby had to put the songs on it for me. I would really be lost with the real thing but sure would like to have one!!!

ENJOY!

PS: What a bike ride!

You know I love that Pee Wee pic. :-)
You are ahead of me too Lee. Neither hubby or I have an ipod. I just got a cell phone (no, not a **new** cell phone) in January. I use to have one, but when I left Corp America, I decided I didn't want one for several years. I'm still not crazy about it.

But I do think your ipod is a wonderful reward and the perfect companion for your walks and bike rides.

Once I finally bought mine, I wondered how I ever got along without it.
I haven't done the podcasts either. That'll be next.
Enjoy your reward!
