Buffy gets me through many a training ride. Lots of action, and you can speed up when she's fighting. In the quiet bits, you recover. Buffy rules!

I've been watching Heroes, Season 1. Why didn't anyone tell me how AWESOME this show is!?! I haven't liked a show this much since Boomtown.
This morning I watched the Sunday political shows, and the time flew by. (Yes, dorkus majorkus, I know. I can't help it.)

since I got my g/f the complete friends collection on dvd for Christmas that's all she's been watching and she loves it, fairly mindless, funny, easy way to pass the time.

I just watched "running on the sun" last night after reading this. AMAZINGLY good film. Thanks so much. Any other endurance doc recommendations out there? Def good for riding on the trainer. It is pretty hard to feel sorry for yourself sitting inside on the trainer when you are watching people lance their blisters on the side of the road in Death Valley!

We have had terrible weather lately so I've recently put in some trainer sessions, here are a few shows that keep me entertained:
There is a show on Fit TV called "Art of the Athlete" that profiles different athletes that is pretty inspirational. I watched one on Diana Nyad this past weekend who was a very successful marathon swimmer this weekend and really enjoyed her story. It looks like a profile of George Hincapie is coming up, here is their web site: http://fittv.discovery.com/...ry/videogallery.html
Another show I watch that is interesting: John and Kate + 8. It's a 1/2 hour show about a couple of had twins and then sextuplets and how they deal with keeping everything together. Watching this makes me realize the importance of a schedule, being organized and not over reacting to life's daily dramas. It's inspiring non-athletic stuff plus the kids are really cute! http://health.discovery.com/...elins/gosselins.html
We have a DVR so I record these series and watch when I have time, very convenient!

I just watched "The Runner" about David Hortons record setting Pacific Crest Trail run. My husband was even taken in by it and that is saying a lot!
I also did 4.5 hours on the trainer Sunday while watching MythBusters. Multiple projects at the same time so you don't get too bored and the Jamie and Adam are hilarious.

Rather that watch the "traditional" movies (breaking away, blah, blah, blah), I watch films and series that get me so absorbed that I don't notice the pain of being on the trainer. Just finished the Dexter Showtime series and that really kept my mind on the screen. I'd want to see the next episode so I had to stay on the bike. Works like a charm.

I typically watch spinervals on the trainer, but I'll definitely have to pop on Buffy (and Angel) when I'm on the treadmill!
When I'm on the treadmill, I've been watching Madagascar (Dreamworks animation), Mulan, Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and Harry Potter (any except Goblet of Fire). Shrek (and Shrek 2) are next on my list.
