New: V-MODA Vibe Headphones

For the past few weeks, Ive been searching for a great set of headphones for my ipod, because as we all know the ones that come along with them are practically the most uncomfortable on the market. So after searching the apple website for the perfect match, I found what i thought would be my best fit. They sell for about 100 bucks on the apple website without shipping charges. BY FAR TOO MUCH MONEY...so I began my search for the best price availible and to my surprise i found something in my price range after searching ebay countless days and my new best friend Amazon.com They sell for about 65 and up on amazon and i took nearly 20 dollars off of the outrageous price that apple was trying to charge. They are more than worth the money though, by far the smallest noise cancelling headphones ive seen on the market and a real FRESH! appearance. They hold a very clear sound that sounds amazing, definately studio quality or better. They are also recieve 2 thumbs up in the comfort department. They come with 6 sets of silicone in ear cushions for great comfort in your on ear size. I just dont see anything beating these out for a while, glad i invested in them. (Anyone looking for a great pair of quality headphones these are great and worth any price you pay.)

Sleep Running

Okay so last night I went to bed pretty late but still had a nice little dream, not any of the weird nonsense Ive been dreaming in past nights. It started off like this.....

There were some kids or officials, (kinda blurry) and theyre setting up what look like hurdles. So next thing I know the hurdles are up and I'm in my blocks getting ready for the start. The gun goes off an I get out extremely well and over hurdles 1-3 I realize my trail leg is lagging. I fix the problem automatically by being more agressive and quick with my trail arm. I get to hurlde six or seven and begin to think entirely too much, throwing me totally out of my rhtyhm. All the while the hurdles feel extremely low an since the correction with my trail Ive totally pulled away from the field. I barely recover from the breakdown during the last part of the race and cross the line. Didnt look at the time or anything, It was almost a shock that i fixed the problem so fast and began to pull away from the field and i think it threw me off lol.

Thinking too much has been my cryptonite :-) but It blew me to be dreaming about my race so vividly like that. This summer my goal is to make sure that the dream comes true.

New Spikes

So over the pat few weeks while Ive been on the sidelines due to the toe fracture, I have started to think about grabbing a new pair of spikes for when im able to get back on the track. Before the setback with my foot I had the Superfly G5's as seen to the left. In a couple of cases there was alot of comfort issues around my foot but I decided that I could put up with it, but now im thinking about switching to the Nike Zoom Powercat. The shoes have identical spike plates but foot comfort seems to be accomodating in the powercat, and from my past experience with the Nike zoom Maxcat (which only differs in the aspect of the spike plate) to that of the Powercat that I finished up my High School career with Im realling leaning to believe that the Powercat may be the right shoe for me. I think I may be getting a little ahead of myself being that Im still not running or jogging just lifting. Hopefully everything pays off when i get back on the track this summer though. Like Ron says, "It's all about mechanics; all the weight-lifting in the world can't help you if you're not running correctly."
