The method may include processing an electronic audio file to generate audio pace data, storing the audio pace data, receiving the electronic audio file and pace data, collecting electronic fitness data during a fitness activity; generating activity pace data; and playing the electronic audio file based on a comparison of the audio pace data and the activity pace data.

Abstract: A message sender crafts an electronic message and addresses the electronic message to at least one message recipient. The message sender can further specify one or more discoverability criteria, such as a time criterion, a geolocation criterion, etc. In some embodiments, the message sender can create the electronic message and specify the discoverability criteria utilizing an application program executing on an electronic communication device of the sender or a browser-based application. The sender submits the electronic message to a message service, which can be provided, for example, by a message server coupled to the Internet. Although the electronic message is submitted to the message service, content of the electronic message is not immediately delivered to the message recipient. Instead, the message server reveals the content of the electronic message to the message recipient when at least some, and in some cases all, of the discoverability criteria are satisfied.
