I usually don't listen to music when I run outdoors, just because I enjoy the running so much and the music distracts me.

I'm hoping, though, that music (or podcasts) will make it possible to run on the treadmill, once it gets too cold to run outdoors.

I've never been successful at continuing to run after the weather gets cold. Maybe, with the right audio accompaniment, I'll be able to put in the time on the treadmill this winter.
