    So he shouldn't be allowed to wear headphones because it would make him, you, or others run faster times by only stimulating the mind into being more "in the zone" so to say, not enhancing performance through muscles? You just stated the reason why the rule is dumb. If headphones were allowed we would see more sub 3:50 miles, more sub 13:00 5ks, more sub 27:00 10ks, the first sub 2-hour marathon, maybe some white sub-2:05 marathons. Only reasons against running for headphones are personal choice.

    Oh my god, headphones!?!?! Front page news! Let's all chat about it for a week. What a bunch of clowns on this site.

    You probably meant ass-clowns. Or perhaps ass-hats. I myself would get terribly insulted to be put in the mere clown category.

    Back when I was in high school, you could be DQ'd for wearing a headband. Which was dumb.

    I agree about the clowns assertion. What kind of nerds care about who is wearing headphones or not? And, demanding DQs over it. Some of you guys really need to get laid.

    There's no way that's a necklace. If it's headphones someone simply check the NXN rules and see if that is permitted in the regional races? I know it many states you are not allowed to compete with headphones. Even at track meets, headphones are not allowed on the track area.

    Did you even look at the other picture, where it's totally obvious that it's a necklace, before making up your mind?

    Scroll down to the 2nd photo on the link above. Great photo-editing technique! Would be neat to see this used for some really close finishes.

    but I will go ahead and be the first to say that if you've never thrown on an iPod and rocked a particular route 2 minutes faster than usual with minimal effort, you aren't a very good and/or smart runner. If I could wear an iPod during any given road 5k, I'm fairly certain I'd have a 20 second faster PR. Yea, I'm a p*$$y, not as tough as Futsum...but the fact remains.

    Ahahahahahhahaaa. Buwahahahahahaa!

    Wow, you're absolutely pathetic.
