Running In Silence

W3R2 I’ve realised this week that I actually prefer to walk/run without music. I’m out early so I hear the birds waking up, and it’s so peaceful!

Anyone else like to do this?

I like it too. I find I’m not trying to keep pace with the music and not counting down the number of songs. I thought it would be harder than having music but it’s actually not.

Yes, that keeping pace thing. Much better without!

I found myself turning down the volume this morning and getting annoyed with some of the music. My husband has never run with music. Now I'm on 25 min runs i should maybe just wear a watch.

Join us in the “running nekkie”! P.s. 25 mins! That’s a goal for me right now.
