When I hike in the mountains, I prefer the sounds of nature to those coming from my iPod. But for the past month it's been too cold and windy for me to enjoy the mountains. Not even snowshoeing. But just because it's winter doesn't mean it's time for those of u...

Are you the person who started the Medical and Sports Institute of America in Eugene Oregon? Do you still produce and sell Prescription Pace tapes or CD's? I use a cassette I ordered from your company in the 1980's! The pace is 138 BPM based on numbers I gave you when I ordered the tape. I was worried I would wear out the tape so made 1 copy and still have the original. The first notes work like magic the moment I hear them on my headset. I'm probably the only one in Puyallup who still uses a Walkman with the clunky earphones.

I find Latin music really good for walking and moving to.
