You like running? (0)

Sunday I worked on a story about a group of Ball State students who are training for a mini marathon. As I spoke to these people I realized that they have an attitude about running that I simply can not relate to. I enjoy excersizing (or the way I feel when I'm finished excersizing) but this people really love running. Endless running! They talked about how relaxing it was to be out a nice leasiurely run. They claimed that running relaxed them. Not me! I would rather stick my finger in an electrical socket! Anyway, this realization at how different people can be made me think of the testing we'll be doing in the coming weeks with the interactive tv and iphone application. Some things we do may get mixed reactions similar to the way the runners and I react differently to the thought of running. Ultimately though, I believe we have and will continue to move in a direction of extreme personalization so that people won't be forced to live with a feature they don't like they'll just change it. Enough with my rambling...just some observations about crazy runners!
