iPod nano 2006-2009

Before the second of my back-to-back races, my beloved and faithful running partner for the last 3 years, my 2nd generation black iPod nano refused to start up and passed away today. Although I admit that my ears felt a little better headphone-free, I found it very challenging to concentrate at times, perhaps from all of the heavy grunting and breathing around me. Fortunately after yesterday's monsoon, the weather was initially a bit nippy but it was gorgeous fall weather. The sublime scenery and cool weather helped me get a personal best for the 5M.
