3 Mile Run: Neighborhood

I finished catching up on Phedippidations. Steve is about to run Boston. Thanks Steve for explaining how you got to toe up to the line. Since I know his target is to beat 4 hours in a marathon (not Boston per se, any marathon) and I know the times required to qualify, I was curious. He was invited to run. No matter, getting to run is what matters. I did sign up for the email updates of his progress along the way.

He played an audio comment and commented himself on the use of mp3 players and headphones. I was happy to hear Steve give a more balanced coverage than we typically get. It just gets up my back teeth when someone gets on their "holier than thou" soap box and tries to tell me danger I am introducing to myself and others because I choose to use an mp3 player and headphones. As to the lady described in the story that yelled out during the "Run to Remember", the problem was not the her headphones. It was what was in head, not on her head that led to such rude behavior. As to the audio comment, Michael needs to humble himself a bit and accept that just because he thinks it's important to hear all of the sounds in a race with naked ears, doesn't mean everyone else agrees. I act on my conscience not anyone else's.

Steve! Good Luck at Boston!!!!!!
