I hadn’t planned on a run today.  Yesterday I said to myself that I might do the second half of my running commute today but I’ll see how I feel when I get up as, after my impromptu BBQ on Sunday led to staying up drinking and watching episodes of Brookside from 1985 and The Mighty Boosh ’til 3am which isn’t a good idea when you have to be at work the next morning, I wasn’t sure if I’d be recovered enough and even after 10 hours sleep on Monday night I decided that I wasn’t up to a running commute, even if it was only half of one, but while I was at work I remembered that I still hadn’t tried out my new wireless headphones and if anything can get me into my trainers and out the door, then it’s a new gadget to try out.

So I swallowed my pride and pretended I wasn’t vain and went out in my new headphones which make me look even more stupid than usual and to my surprise they did actually stay on my head, and it made a nice change not to have headphone wires annoying me by bashing me in the face.  No one laughed at me either, which was an added bonus.   And they must have magical powers too because although I stopped and took them off to find out where the volume control was on them, my Garmin reckons I did 9:44 minute miles tonight.  So either my new headphones have magical powers or my Garmin is broken.
