Workout music request

(bonus points to anyone who wants to send me a mix CD of this type of music)


I am looking for energetic instrumentals to listen to while I am both working out and reading. I have a great Energy playlist for my non-reading workouts (ie, elliptical training), but on days when I'm reading while using the stationary bike, I prefer things without lyrics to distract me. I'm thinking Blue Man Group, Combustible Edison, etc.

I already have the Audio album by Blue Man Group, several tracks by Combustible Edison (Breakfast at Denny's, Carnival of Souls, Call of the Space Siren, In the Garden of Earthly Delights, Laura's Aura, and Short Double Latte), and one song by Mushroom (The Evolution of Smells in an Underground Parking Garage... )

Any other ideas? And places I can get them cheaply (but ideally, legally)?

Positivity

Inspired by Nisha:

Daily Positivity #1:
1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for eight days without fail.
3. Tag eight (or as many as you want) of your friends to do the same.


(Note: I don't do tagging. Do it if you want, don't if you don't. I'm doing it because I need the regular reminders of goodnesses in my life, so I don't slip into focusing on the negatives. YMMV.)


Today's positivity is that I managed to drag my butt to the gym and onto the elliptical for my usual 20-minute workout, despite feeling all blah and flumpy all morning. In fact, I've been generally doing pretty well for gym-things, and I'm pretty pleased with that.
