	The topic name says it all. I can't stand running without music, it feels like forever anyone that feels the same or opposite?

	I run without music. I run outside and I prefer to hear anyone approaching from behind by car/bike/foot/etc. I am more aware of my surroundings.

	I used to always run with music until one day I was doing intervals and one of the headphones kept falling out and irritating me. I took off the headphones and discovered running without music.. It was so peacefull, I loved it. I've been running without music ever since. I just like it more that way.

	I go through periods where I don't want music, but right now I really like my I-Pod when I run.

	I have found that listening to music can also distract you from the appearance of aches and pains, leading to injury. This is especially true during hard workouts like tempo runs and intervals. I don't understand how anyone has the concentration necessary to listen to music while doing intervals. Now I enjoy all of my runs without music.

	I like running for running. Sometimes the music can be a complete distraction and I won't enjoy the way the run feels or the scenery as much. Other times, though, it gets me going and is very welcome! Just depends on what I'm going to do and where!
	Lemme put your name on my shirt!

	Whatever works for people is great. For me it's no music-morning is such a quiet peaceful time for me. Blessings Kathy

	Both! I love music, especially when I've got some new downloads to listen to, but there are many days where I hate the idea of something in my ears or any sound outside of birds chirping and my own breath. Sometimes a peppy mix is just the ticket to keep that long tempo run right on track, sometimes it's a distraction. Either way, I'm glad I'm not married to it - I feel for those people that ask, "My race doesn't allow headphones, what do I do??"

	We really need moderators... Atleast we know the true nature of these topic destroyers
