because when I joined RW there was already a Tommygunn so I decided that I would just add the 2.

I think the other Tommygunn is on fetch more than on here.

As simple as that I'm afraid.

I much prefer running with music - I just find it helps me tune into my running quicker and block out all other intrusions buzzing around my head! That said I can run fine without music and sometimes choose to do so; it really is just a preference not a reliance thing! Makes me laugh that people think we become ignorant when listening to I pods - I still smile and chat to other runners if I see them and feel fully in tune with my body so guess we all different. Go with what works best for you!

Ipod....Yes

Easily the best mp3 player on the market

But I wouldn't fucking run with one.

Just do whatever works for YOU matey. I cant tell you what you like. If it gets you out running - then good for the ipod. Sometimes I run with mine (if i can find the bugger) and often I run without. Doesnt make much difference to me other than I can catch up with the archers whilst running.

I have mixed feelings on this.

I used to do a lot of running with an mp3 player....

Personally though, as I never race with one, I'd sooner do all my training closer to 'race conditions'. The other thing is you become a lot more in tune with what your body is doing... running too hard, injuries etc. if you are running with no music. It's a good distraction from the pain of hard exercise.... haha.. but sometimes you need to be 'feeling' and 'hearing' what your body is doing and the effects of the run.
