12 miles, cloudy but with a new toy

So on Saturday I finally broke down after wanting them since the first generation Oakley Thump was released maybe 2 years ago. In November or December Oakley released it's Generation 3 Thumps, the Oakley Thump Pro, I realized that they now have a version that I would wear and figured they had all the bugs worked out. So I finally broke down and bought them on Saturday.

No more batteries, no more wires, no more arm bands. Just sunglasses with a built in MP3 player. The 12 miles on Sunday was easy! I do highly recommend the Oakley Thump Pros as long as you can afford the price tag they are worth it. Well this is only my 3rd day with them now.

I hope you like them. I love mine. They are absolutely a blast to run with. So much better than my old nano, armband, headset, and sunglasses solution. Be sure to check out the "Overdrive" feature, it's the best part of the whole thing. There's a great section in the manual that tells you how to use it, but what it does is allow you to instantly call up your favorite song for when you need that immediate boost of energy to push you past that "wall" all us runners are complaining about.

Bob, a runner in training

Weirdly I was told by a co-worker that I should have a blog and now it's all about running in New York City and that is all I'm writing about now. Also since I'm a legal Alien this gives my friends and family a weird way to see what's going on in my life.
