Ban

A growing number of races in the U.S. ban MP3 players now. I think that’s a bit extreme. To listen or not to listen should be left to the runner’s discretion. I enjoy listening to my iPod on runs, but I would never think of taking it along when I’m running with someone. I find it sad when I see couples or friends running side by side, each in their own little MP3 world.

Gotta run…

Why are they banned?

I once saw a car with four girls in it...each one was on her cell phone.

They ban them cause people are less aware of what's going on around them, like if someone is trying to pass them. Kinda like when people talk on the phone while driving.
