Rockin' the iButt
This morning Sean and I went for another 6 mile run at Crystal Springs. The thing you don't think about when you hear mileage is how long it actually takes to run longer distances. Six miles takes us about an hour an fifteen minutes (I run really slowly), so that is a lot of time to kill. Today at about fifteen minutes I decided to bust out the iButt to keep us entertained.
What is the iButt you ask? iButt = Hydration belt + iPhone + Music Playlist. I usually carry my iPhone in one of the zipper pouches on the hydration belt just in case something happens. What might happen? I don't know. But just in case. Today it was just in case we got bored I guess. I put the iPhone on speaker and we jogged along to my 80s mix. This must have been pretty funny to other people cruising by, some joggers were laughing at us as they ran by and realized my behind was busting out Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode, and Simple Minds. But it helped us get through miles 3-6.
When we finished our run, our favorite Bagpipe player was out practicing again. He was there the last morning run we did a few weeks ago. I was very confused last time and thought maybe there was a funeral or something, but Sean informed me that the guy was probably just practicing. He pointed out that no one would want their neighbor practicing the bagpipes in their neighborhood, so probably the guy comes out to Crystal Springs to practice his bagpipes in the woods. I took a stealth picture of him, and recorded a snippet of him playing the bagpipes for your listening enjoyment.
Finally, I've included a picture of some deer we came across this morning that I took with my iPhone, as well as Cleo refusing to get up as we got ready to leave early this morning. She is so funny, she will barely make eye contact when we wake her up too early, and this morning she just put her arm over her face to keep the light out I guess ;)).
