Gus Jr.

After a good five years out of my old iPod Mini urging me on during runs, I've finally realized it's time to replace him. My runs used to be accompanied by Scissor Sisters and Bloc Party for a good 20 minutes. Now I get about 5 minutes, if I'm lucky.

I'm sorry, I loved you, but you gotta go. So with a birthday gift card (thanks, family!), I replaced Gus, my old stand-by, with Gus Jr.:

I'm a little obsessed with it already. Can you tell? Why else would I write about it? It's so small! And it clips to my clothes—no more sweaty armband!

Now if only my two-week old raging butthead of a cold would go away so I could enjoy the fall weather and go for a run.
