Sans the iPod

Lately I find myself heading out the door and leaving my iPod at home. Seems I've discovered I prefer the sounds of my run (feet hitting the ground, my breathing, the passing traffic, dogs barking -you know, being there) to music blaring in my ears and the being present to what I'm doing. I dunno, anymore the iPod seems so...distracting.

Just a personal observation.

I go back and forth. I'll leave the ipod at home for a few weeks and then when I start running to the music again, it's a plus.

I do like to be with nature on a lot of runs, but for me nature is often a loud SUV speeding past.
