Maybe they were listening to the Suns game.

I'm with you on that one. I've never used head phones on a run. Never had a desire too.

Agreed. Love the feel of running and concentrating on running. And paying attention to "stuff" along the way.

Talked about this with my classes the other day because we are comparing 1920s to today in my 10th grade classes. I made the argument that despite all these advances in technology, all they serve to do is detach us from the world around us. It reminded me of a quote from the summer reading book my 8th graders had to read. The book was "The Boy Who Saved Baseball" and essentially touched on a ten year old kid who realizes that society WANTS us detached from the land, to go all day without truly touching the ground, from carpet, to sidewalk, to parking lot, to tiled floors... We runners are some of the few that seek to experience nature as it is meant to be, albeit sans headphones.

I definitely love and appreciate a music-free run too. SO peaceful.

Agreed.
