Sadly, my iPod died a slow death over the past few months... the screen died, the battery wouldn't charge, the screen came back to life, then a big black spot took over, then the battery just completely died :( I had to say goodbye to my nano, who lived a good 3 years and ran many miles with me...
I started running without an iPod, and sort of got used to it, but still found it to be a challenge. Then I ran one morning with JJ's iPod, and I ran faster and further than ever... I knew I'd have to bite the bullet and get one.
We're on a super tight budget, but once before I took a gamble with money for my health, and it paid off (I took $500 out of my wedding savings to buy my elliptical, which helped me lose the first 50 lbs.) So I decided to take $150 out of our house down payment savings and buy an iPod. She's so pretty, has 8x more memory than my old nano, and can play movies, and is pink!
I am so happy to finally have a nano again as it really does have a huge impact on my runs... and with 2 10k's coming up, I can use all the help I can get!
Note: That photo was taken right after a run and level 3 of the shred last night.... so I look awful!
Oooo...congrats!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting an Ipod, (I have an MP3).
I really want it for the movies. Have you tried watching a movie yet while running on the treadmill? I was wondering if that would be difficult...
And sometimes, it is definitely worth it to invest in your health! I could not run without music!
Good for you!
Yay for a new iPod! Are you going to be able to use it during the race? I know some races won't allow MP3 players.
ReplyDeleteHey I tagged you in my blog.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new running buddy! Your blog is very inspirational! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I'm loving it!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love my iPod and I walk when ever I can with it on. It just keeps my going and I know you know what I mean. Thanks to you, I found out about the 30 day Shred DVD and tried it out via the library. I just picked up my own copy yesterday and I am really looking forward to using it more often. Keep up the good work!
