New running music - Passion: Awakening

Downloaded the new Passion worship album, Passion: Awakening, before heading down to SNAP to put in 5 miles on the Woodway. Haven't had enough chance to listen to give a good review, but on the whole I really liked it. "Our God" by Chris Tomlin was the first one that stood out to me. I know some think he is too mainstream, but I think he just understands how to write good corporate worship songs.

As for the running: 5 miles, 44 minutes, Vomero shoes. Now that I'm back in a routine, 9 minute miles are starting to feel a bit too easy. However, I seem to remember that for distance running you're supposed to train 2/min/mile slower than your race pace. I should look that up and see if it's true.

Didn't find the answer, but found this good quote on wikipedia:

Running can also have psychological benefits, as many participants in the sport report feeling an elated, euphoric state, often referred to as a "runner's high".[20] Running is frequently recommended as therapy for people with clinical depression and people coping with addiction


But what if my addiction is running?
