running into your mind.

someone once said to me, (we were discussing the negative effects of listening to music while running) "but doesn't your body get the same workout anyways? why would wearing headphones make a difference?"

now, i won't go into the details of why running to music is bad (pacing, rhythm, sensory attention) but I will say this:

if you think that exercise is only - or even primarily - a function of the body, you should fucking quit. Sit on your couch and think about it for a little bit, reassess what you're doing, why and how.

sorry to be so aggressive but i think i really mean it.
