Random Running Thoughts

I’ve been running a lot lately, and when I run, I think… a lot… (I mean, really, what else is there to do?).

• Since I started using the Nike + system, I’ve been running with my iPhone.  I went to the Apple store to get some sort of a holder for it, and the sales associate, who has clearly never run in his entire life, suggested that I use a waist holster.  Seriously, I’m short, and the length of my iPhone is like half the length of my femur.  I ended up with an armband.  I look so bad-ass running.
• But… running with the iPhone has a drawback.  For instance, when I get bored, I want to check my email.  I wish it would just narrate my email, or at least let me know when something good arrives.  Maybe there’s an app for that?
• I recently switched up my song order, and Bullet With Butterfly Wings came on.  And, I didn’t even feel the rage…  I’m … happy?  Hmmm…. is there something to this running thing??
