An earlier post all about keeping motivated with respect to keeping fit suggested the purchase of some gadgets. the idea being that spending money on them will mean you have to go out for a run to justify the expense, and the new gadget will encourage you out so that you can play with it. Well, I took my own advice the other day when Apple dropped the prices of their iPod shuffles<\/a> and bought myself one. OK, OK I know, I already had a 30GB iPod video so why do I need a shuffle as well?<\/p>\n

Apart from the fact that I couldn’t resist it especially at less than \u00a330, the shuffle is my better for running and cycling with simply because of its size. I’m able to clip it on anywhere and get out there for a run without having to wear clothes with pockets in to fit my bigger iPod or even worrying about breaking it.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately my back has been hurting a bit lately, so I haven’t had much chance to use the shuffle yet, but I will do soon.
