So, it’s not quite as easy as yes or no. Is it ever? I voted ‘no’ on this one because to me, that’s the answer the majority of the time. Skiing, it’s almost a no-brainer. While I’m all for getting in the grove with some Kings of Leon or Fleet Foxes or what-have-you, it’s just too dangerous to not be tuned in to your surroundings. Besides, I like to set my own tempo when making my turns. Biking-haven’t quite made up my mind on that one, and while I have jammed out before, I’m leaning more to the tune out side. Again, just too risky. Now, running is the big exception. Music can actually be helpful while logging miles. And, the majority of races have come around to that fact and are now making it OK to run with earphones in. Thank god, cause I don’t think I could run 26.2 without.
