Con Musica

Friday, April 16 - 4 miles, 29:37 (7:24 pace)... For the first time, I ran this morning WITH what the kids are calling an iPod Shuffle (a delicate contraption no bigger than my pinky). It was good to have music the whole way, i wouldn't say easier to run but possibly easier to run over time. I found the time pass rather quickly. I look forward to adding to my list of good songs to run to.

_______________________________________________________

So I've obviously not been posting as much... I've also not been running as much. I am looking to achieve a little balance. I think that running became a little more than obsession and my body took the toll or poor strengthening, overuse and under-eating. Now I am still running but not nearly as much and not nearly as far.
