I finally asked for a mp3 player for Christmas, so I've joined the ranks of the ear-budded! Sure makes these runs on the treadmill less dreadful... Monday was 6 miles, today 5, and I almost enjoyed it, thanks to the tunes. But I'm not planning on running outside with it; walking the dog while wearing it yesterday was disconcerting enough.

And oh how I'm looking forward to a morning that's as warm as 27 again! Assuming there's not too much ice or too much wind, that's fantastic running conditions!
