Ode to Zaggy

The end of one of my favorite
pieces of running gear
Friends, we are gathered here today to mourn the loss of my dear friend, Zagg Smartbuds.  Zaggy, as I liked to call him, was a friend to all ears, large or small.  Never leaving any down and out, pain was not in his repertiore.  Cleaning, working on crafts and most especially running, Zaggy was there, bringing music or even old-time radio shows to my ears.

Sadly, Wednesday May 11, while helping me with a quilt.  Zaggy was cut short.  One snip of my scissors and the only pair of earbuds I have ever enjoyed was taken from me.   Gone, now, are the days of carefree workouts.  Gone the freedom from sliding buds and pain in my tiny ears.  Each day is a reminder of the greatness of Zaggy and his support in my goals.  Zaggy, you will be dearly missed.

Due to my loss (and the blogger issue) This post will contain two days of training stats.
