AskWoody LoungerI agree with Jezza about the portable music device. I don’t wear one cycling or running. I love to see what is around and hear what is around me. I also love the ideas that float through my mind when I am exercising. I think the ideas must be in my blood somewhere but don’t get to my brain until I run … (no, don’t go there)
Our running group is affilliated with Triathlon Australia and as such uses their rules. The rules state that no entrant will wear headphones during a race (or some wording like that). We often get new people to the group who insist that they wear them and then go running off into the bush, not a clue as to the course, and get upset when they get lost. There’s no way I am yelling louder to them to keep them on track, if they are selfish enough to block out sounds around them, and I’m running as fast as I can. One runner even said to me “I have to wear them, I can’t stand the sound of my own breathing”.

AskWoody LoungerI’ve often seen that comment about runners never having smiles on their faces and that as an indicator of pleasure in the pasttime.
From a runner’s perspective, you should see the looks on driver’s faces as they drive past. That don’t look like fun at all!! (And don’t get me started on Mums driving their offspring to school in the morning … that is truly scary!)

AskWoody LoungerThey show them here in Australia as well. In Griffith there is a strong local following (not my cup of tea, but many of my friends are regulars) and my Mum goes to a showing in Fremantle.

AskWoody LoungerThank you Hey Jude,
I am using a Microsoft wireless mouse (model 1056). I will unhook it and test while I go and have dinner.

And, Dave A, no I have not installed a third party screensaver. I was trying to use my own photos in the Microsoft one called Photos.
edited: back from dinner and Hey Jude, you were right. Thank you.
