I bought an iPod Nano 4th Gen last year to accompany me in my runs.  I think an iPod is great for running.  I bought it from the money I saved in a piggy bank.  I do still have one and still have the habit of dropping 100 peso...

It started as a great day with a 13.5KM run in the island of Corregidor.  It was very serene and very close to nature.  Only 2 vehicles passed by during the entire run.  The sound around the island made me stop the music on my iPod.  I listened to...
