In today's running world if you go to or participate in any event; go to your local gym, or even if you see someone running down the street you likely notice they're wearing headphones. It took me a while to move to headphones on my initial runs; many runs publicize in their rules that headphones are not allowed but in most cases people show up with them anyway. The right music I find CLEARLY makes a difference. I run and exercise with my iPhone 3GS and I could not imagine not having it. Good grief, I think anything would drag on without the thing. Just try and stay away from the stock white headphones though; they are not made for running. I make sure to instill plenty of power in my Running playlist. How does one not get pushed listening to: The Rocky Theme, Right Here Right Now, Three Six Mafia, The Go! Team, etc?! My playlist is a hodge podge of music spanning hiphop, rock and techno. Each song specifically chosen to push me through my run or workout. Definitely good to have that mix in there for variety and an occasional change in tempo. Terribly hard to imagine running without my iPhone. I will however be switching to a Nano in the near future; the problem is finding a black 16 gig model.
Also, the fact that I use the Nike+ program on my phone does facilitate things. I give kudos to Apple and Nike for developing this ingenious program. I have found that it really makes me run farther, faster and stronger. With that said, look forward to my playlist for this weekend's run in Little Rock! Greater passion for anything I never had more than this!
