Thats why I've learned to listen to the music, but not focus on it...then, you can find a comfortable pace that is much better. I do this by finding an object to focus on, but then end up glazing out and thinking about happenings in my day...then I'm not so focused on the beat. Don't know if this will help you, but.....thought I'd give you my input anyway! PS - Did it bother you to hear Kes' heartbeat on sonograms?

I'm afraid someone is going to notice :P I have to adjust my stride because it makes me feel like an idiot. I hate it when I’m walking in a store and I unintentionally walk to the beat of the music.

If I'm walking someplace and I need to get there fast, I'm more likely to have a speedy stride if I pop in my iPod- fave album for walking to my previous job was The Killers. And of course I dance, which is so much easier for me than some people because I have rhythm. Unless I get a partner who's just behind/ahead of the beat, which drives me mental. I think I come by my rhythm from being constantly around music since I was tiny. My mom loves music and she's a beautiful singer. I sang a lot as a kid, and played in a brass band for a few years. I was usually playing the 2nd part rather than the melody, so coming in on time was very important! I think I'm slightly more melody-propelled than a rhythm junkie, but it is hard for me to ignore music in my atmosphere.

He can find the beat to anything. We noticed as soon as any music comes on, his head starts bobbing. Then we realized the other day, the printer was printing (imagine the sound) and there he was bobbing that head of his. Guess I have a little glimpse of the future with you.

You could probably set up whole playlists of songs with your walking bpm (or ones with a slightly faster or slower bpm for warming up or cooling down) Just a thought.

Quiet kills me. But... at least I have the voices in my head to sing to me while I'm typing this. ;) Dude, I so cannot do ANYTHING without some sort of beat, or music, or humming, or just noise.
