Welcome

The Good Animal is a blog devoted to the richness of life achieved through physical exertion. Being a good animal is being an active animal. Happiness is not a thought; it is an action. Active animals are happy, content and fulfilled by doing what they were created to do. The mind loves action as much as the body. It is toned and shaped by it. Thoughts become clear, solid and crystal during physical activity. The spirit comes stronger, lighter and more resilient. Welcome fellow animals.

Running Music

Music is an essential part of my run. I vary it frequently. Here are my favorite running mp3s at the moment.


  • Your Favorite Worst Nightmare by Arctic Monkeys

The first three tracks are amazing for running. Good driving beats and some great lyrics. Check out "Brian Storm," "Teddy Picker," and "D is for..." the rest of the Cd is good but not pure running tracks. These get the legs moving.

  • The entire Apples in Stereo disc New Magnetic Fields. Great upbeat stuff.

  • I am into a strong dance type beat as I run so I have been enjoying The Sunlandic Twins and Satanic Panic in the Attic by Of Montreal while I run.

  • Finally, I enjoy listening to Steve Runner's Phedippidations when I run. Thinking about running while running is a pleasure.
