The Shuffles don't seem to have a life of much longer than a few months. Having owned two shuffles now, my opinion is its better to buy a larger iPod that will last a few years.

I find that being youthful and of ambiguous ethnicity results in similar running experiences, particularly when it's raining and my hood is up. No one's ever screamed, 'cause I'm 5'4 1/2", but they do get spooked, and I am forced to think very hard at them "Do you not see my ipod? were I going to mug you, I would not be listening to music. I would have to shut off Mozart's Die Zauberflöte in order to punch you in the face and steal your capuccino." I comfort myself by upping my speed to showoff-y levels until I am at least out of sight. Of the rock genre, these are my favorite of my 245 officially recognized running songs (but I'll listen to anything that is fast enough and does not depress me -- I find that I have to be reminded how awesome I am while I run, or it's just not happening, hence the under-representation of Nine Inch Nails): Thunderstruck - AC/DC La Grange - ZZ Top (this is the song that helped me get my fastest [adult] mile time) More Human Than Human - White Zombie (this is good for hills) Bring the Noise - Anthrax & Public Enemy Baba O'Riley - The Who Shut Me Up - Mindless Self Indulgence Panzermensch - And One (it's in German, so I had to translate the lyrics before I could like it, haha) Keep the Car Running - The Arcade Fire J*** in My Pants - The Lonely Island Incredibad American Girl - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers My Name is Mud - Primus Miserlou - Dick Dale and the Del-Tones . . . (and the Black Eyed Peas "Pump It" which samples it liberally. I have to have both, or I feel too guilty). I do have some Van Halen too, Rammstein, and uh, some Motley Crue. The rest is all pop (yay, Prince), industrial, trance, techno and warm-up/warm-down songs. I'm running out of room on the shuffle but I don't want to run with the larger capacity one; it's a pain, I'd have to buy an armband and la, la, la. Haha!
