To use or not use an iPod!!!
Dear Runners - In our Taper Lecture I made the comment that runners should not train/compete with an iPod...here is Chrissy Ungaro's personal experinece!
Hi Coach Don-
To summarize my iPod experience...
I started yesterday's long run without my iPod just to see how I would do.
Things were going fine; I was focused and not letting the rain get to me.
After awhile my hands were so cold from the rain that they started to hurt,
so I decided to put my iPod in to distract me from focusing on my hands.
You were right, it was a complete mistake! Even though I had the music on
relatively quiet, it was hard to hear my breath and I couldn't get in a
rhythm on the hills. Instead of getting me through a slump, I think it made
it worse. After about a half hour I shut my iPod back off, but it took
quite awhile for me to get myself mentally back together. I wonder how many
other runs I went on with my iPod that could have been better if I were more
focused from the get-go like I was yesterday. Next time I hit a slump, I
know it's because I need to focus more, not less! I'm officially cutting
myself off from iPod usage when I run!
Thanks Coach!
Chrissy

I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
