Day three of training...

Stunk. Running easy is boring. It felt like it took an hour to run three miles. I do not know how long it took me though because I had to put my ipod back in my car in the middle of my run. Running without music also added to the boredom of the run.

Why did I put my ipod up you ask? Well, I have been told I have a pretty big head. So naturally, I assumed, I would have pretty big ears. Not the case at all. I bought some new earphones with replaceable ear buds for the ipod. The only ones that fit in my ear are the bitch-like smallest ones. While working out the other day, one of the ear buds popped off the end of my headphones and I could not find it. Since I have not been able to get to best buy to purchase a replacement, I had to use the bigger ear buds so that I can enjoy some music while working out.

That strategy is fine for lifting weights, but for running, they kept popping out of my ears every thirty seconds. It also was not helping that I bought some of those running shorts that are not made of very heavy material. I used to be able to run with my ipod in pocket, but with the new shorts on it feels like I am John Holmes running when the ipod is in my pocket. So I now have to hold it in my hand when running and that adds more pressure to the over sized ear buds.

Oh well, another rest day today, which means another upper body workout. Three miles on Saturday and Four miles on Sunday. Hopefully I can get some new earphones so that I do not have to endure another thirty minutes of hell again.
