To all of the folks who think that jogging with headphones is a good idea, may I suggest you try the lovely Katy Trail in Dallas. No cars to worry about - just bicycles.

Or perhaps a jog on the beach with your ipod might be just the thing.

I don’t really recommend that you do it along train tracks, however.

And if jogging with buses, you might want to leave off the sunglasses, as well.

And stay away from trees
