Yesterday I took advantage of August and Brent being out of the house to go for a long (embarrassingly in this case, “long” = 4.5 miles) run. For the first time ever I decided to give Brent’s little Ipood (nope, not a typo, I prefer that spelling) a chance. He already had a few music playlists on there, so I grabbed my headphones and headed out the door. It was nice listening to music as I ran. Last time I had gone for a run without August I was actually a little bored. I had no one singing to me, no one to reading “I Spy” to me, and no one to ask me “What are you doing Mommy?” every five minutes. So I welcomed the music as a distraction. (more…)
