New Toy


With the ability of holding 240 songs, weight of only 1 ounce, and 12 hours of battery life I am exciting about this new toy. Sure would have loved to have had it during some parts of the Ultra race last week!! I am even considering some audio books as well.

So when my husband arrives home yesterday he has in hand a gift for me. Let me say that everything I planned as a special treat for him this past week has fizzled and failed and now he goes and does something so sweet for me... again. Can you hear how bad I feel?

Recovery week has gone well for me. Ran a few miles throughout the week with LOTS of stretching along with some upper body strength training and core. Today I will swim at the Y with my husband and then join a friend in the morning for a run before my 90 minute massage. I have been looking forward to this massage all week.

Happy running!

That was great of him. I just (last night!) bought a pair of these off Apple, both with "Happy Anniversary!" on them. Me and my wife will be exchanging shuffles in a couple of weeks!

I can't wait as I put my last one through the wash whilst switched on and it didn't survive :(.

i've just upgraded to wearing a watch - so it might be awhile before i do the music thing. but i can definitely see how it can be useful on ultras.

a massage does sound very nice. enjoy it for all of us!

That's a fun little gift! Way to go hubby! Perfect for running/biking!

I have the old school Shuffle, and I love it. I don't need thousands of songs with multiple play lists. I'm running, for pete's sake! I like that it's light, small, simple, and seems to be a bit more resiliant to abuse. I would like a Nano also, but only if I get if for free. :-p
