Today I Ran

Course: Treadmill, 1% uphill grade
Distance: 2 miles
Obstacles: fumbling with my headphones, dropping my iPod onto the moving belt, horrible news on the TV

Not one of my better runs. My rhythm was totally interrupted in the middle of the run by my iPod becoming unclipped and clattering away behind me. After searching 3 different levels at the gym (the treadmill is inexplicably only a few feet away from an open stairwell - there's a lawsuit waiting to happen), I discovered that the damned thing was hiding underneath the treadmill.

Of course I couldn't really get into much of a groove anyway, because the madness happening at Virginia Tech was playing on the TV screen.
