Thoughts:
After a slow start, I've really started to get into running. I always run in the same area, around the local park, and I moved it up from two laps to three laps for the last couple of runs and noticed my stamina has increased a great deal. The pace I've been keeping has been more than satisfactory, and I'm definitely interested in increasing my stamina for now, rather than speed.
Physically, I haven't lost any weight, but I feel significantly fitter and somewhat leaner. I assume the weight is shifting from fat to muscles. My constitution has improved immensely and I'm getting much better nights of sleep. Last night was the first time my shins started to hurt since starting running so I might have to lay off for an extra day or two this week. I get shin splints every time I run on a machine in the gym, but it hasn't been bad at all in the park. I've got a cough anyway, so this week might be a write off if it doesn't improve tomorrow.

Music:
My Vitriol "Always Your Way" - awesome for both 20 and 30 mins.
Bloc Party "Intimacy" - awesome for 20 mins.
Way Out West "Don't Look Now" - a bit slow, maybe better if I start from track 4 or 5 though.
I'm going to give some of those Nike Original Runs a try too.
