I used to run years ago even though I kinda sucked at it. I think what kept me going was being able to decompress and listen to music in Prospect Park while I made my way around the loop. This predates the ipod, so I was lugging my minidisk player with me. The problem, of course, was where to carry it without it becoming cumbersome, sweaty and in the way.

I would have loved the iMojo Shuffle Sweats. It just makes sense - throw it on your forearm and go. It even has little cleats to wrap excess headphone cables out of the way and it's machine washable. Ok, so I admit, I don't own a Shuffle, or even an iPod. Now that I don't run or commute to work I haven't found the need for one enough to own (other than the fact that they are cool gadgets), but maybe I should take up running again...
