I tried doing my usual run yesterday, 4 miles,
wearing a new armband radio. First time I
ever wore a music box.

My stride and rhythm are pretty much fixed in
stone, after so many years. Problem is, the
beat of the music - regardless which song -
was out of sync with my biorhythm. Ineluctably,
I 'ran to the music', so to speak, and it messed
me up. I pooped out less than 3 miles!

Is this normal? Does it work itself out after
a while? It's unexpected, fer shure -

I have been running consistently now for 25 years.

Never until recently used music when running. The idea of lugging
around one of the cd players or a small radio/headphones never used to
appeal to me.

That changed for me two years ago when I bought an ipod shuffle. It
is so light weight it is amazing. Most of the time I use headphones
instead of earbud things.

I don't use it all the time but maybe 3 out of 4 runs. The nice thing
about an ipod or any mp3 player is that you can customize a playlist
for exactly what you want ... medium paced ones, fast, slow, etc.

For real fast training my favorite playlist right now is from
madonna's confessions on the dance floor ( or whatever this is
called ? ) it's a disco fast high energy set of tunes.

Radio broadcasts? No way I would tolerate that.

Must be true, since at races the radios are worn by slow runners :-)
