As usual, this post is after the fact. I FINISHED. I ran the whole 11km, and I did it in 55 minutes. I am so proud of myself. I didn't really plan to run it, Lan and I had just been running every sunday, and this came up. Seemed like a good idea, and it was.
The most I had run leading up to the event was 8km. I can honestly say that I am probably the healthiest I have EVER been.
At the very least I brake one stereotype of a computer scientist / gamer / comic fan.
The other thing about the run was that despite listing all these songs I ended up needing less than half to finish the race.

I have been thinking lately about the phones, and iPods and other things that I have with me or would like to have. I think the ultimate personal media device would be one that included these features:

• A Camera - At least 5 Mega Pixels, a decent replacement for a real camera.
• An MP3 Player - The bigger the storage the better, at least 250GB.
• A portable hard drive - This is just as a secondary mode, much like the iPod can be used as a usb drive
• A video player - For this you want a good screen on the device, which would also be used as the controls for the mp3 player and the viewfinder for the camera
• A GPS - A full featured one.
• A pedometer - A very good one, including software to monitor intake.
• Software - A Calender, Email, Internet Browser, basic office package.
• Wi Fi.
• THE MOST IMPORTANT PART - A battery that will recharge as it goes, such as solar power, or biothermal. Something that doesn't have to be recharged each night.

I recognise that a lot of phones, such as the iPhone, or my own N95, perform most of these tasks, but you need an all in one.
Also this list is the bare essentials for the ultimate Personal Media Device. A number of other things should be included but aren't a must, such as an ebook reader etc.
