The Benavides Family: well that's handy!

So when I go running I MUST have music playing, and it MUST be loud. It is quite impossible for me to run while hearing myself struggle for air. Hearing myself being tired always makes me more tired! Well, I have an ipod shuffle that I always used for my runs, and it was great because it is so small. BUT after I got my iPhone it was pretty inconvenient to keep two ipods current. I only really used the shuffle for running, but I used my iPhone for music every other time. It was a hassle to make sure I added my new songs to both devices. Most of the time I would forget to put the songs on my shuffle, and then when I went running I would be bored listening to old music.

Well, when I saw the iPhone armband I told Ben I could really use one of those so I could just take my iPhone running. However, I forgot about it and just kept using my shuffle. SO one day I get home from school and there is the iPhone armband I wanted on the table! Ben had bought it for me! How sweet! See the nifty key holder?? Love that part. Before that, where was I supposed to put my house key?? Genius!

Ever since I got it I have been using it, and I am very happy I got one! It's nice not to have to worry about charging and adding songs to two different ipods. How is it working? Well, I only have one complaint:

1) The iPhone is pretty heavy to be on your arm so when you try and secure it (so it doesn't slide down) you have to put it on kinda tight. It can get uncomfortable. Today on my way home I looked down at my hand because it was hurting and I noticed it was much bigger than my other hand! haha. I suppose the band was cutting off circulation. Whoops! I'm sure running while you have no circulation in your hand doesn't help either!

Here is some of the music I jam out to:

For the running part I need fast, upbeat songs like,
