Subject: MP3 through the wash was a good thing!

My hubby, God bless his heart, is better about getting laundry done than I am.  Well, I forgot to take my MP3 player out of a jacket pocket that got washed.  It's fried.  This morning I took off for a 12 mile run sans music.  I thought it would be awful...but it was quite the opposite!  I forgot what it was like to hear the rhythm of my footfalls on the desert trails, the sound of my breathing, and really feel like I was in the moment.  It was an excellent run.  I'm in no hurry to replace the MP3.

***Not intended to stir up the running with or without music debate!!!***

I ditched my MP3 player a couple of years ago and never miss it!  I love hearing everything going on around me, especially when on a trail away from any traffic. 

Enjoy your audio freedom.

if you can find a quiet place away from traffic, running can actually be very peaceful.

I forgot my iPod today for my bike ride and didn't miss it one bit. Usually I just have my music with me because I get bored but I find I bike and run faster without it. It's nice to be able to hear everything around you!

Haha, good stuff.  Two years ago I got caught in a downpour with my iPod shuffle.  I've never run with music again.  I've also never wanted to run with music again.  Welcome to the club
