Today was the second day in a row that I've had no earbuds when I opened my bag at the gym. I have about 10 pairs laying around the house, but couldn't find any last week when a pair went kaput. I was about to take the dog for a walk (I listen to Freakanomics Radio while the Marathon Show is on hiatus), and he was crying to get outside, so I quickly dug around my gym bag and we went on our way.
Those damn earbuds were still sitting on the kitchen table when I went to the gym again today, now the second time. I managed to eek out a run, but I have trouble on the treadmill without music. Number one, I can't focus well and get distracted easily without music. Number two, music with a good best helps me set the tempo of a run. Withòut it, I'm left to figure that out somehow on my own. Number three, people make weird noises at the gym. The grunting of the meatheads is much more prevalent when not drowned out by music-and it's just weird!
