As women runners, it is best we take up some sort of cross-training and swimming just so happens to be a perfect addition to a running womsn's repertoire. While I remain a believer of listening to one’s self and immersing the mind in its immediate environment, encapsulating the self in sensorial wonderment in an attempt to fight off boredom (?), however, is IN and HOT with athletes of the 21st century, namely runners...now swimmers?!. Therefore it would be unfair to keep reviews of these tangible mind-altering gadgets to myself. You will just have to take Katie McClelland’s (Dallas Aquatics Master) word on the best waterproof MP3 players, or perhaps you have a favorite to review?
