I heard rumors they were banned, especially after Chicago; apparently a lot of runners ignored or didn't hear the advice to slow down and/or stop due to the headphones. Still, I say tons of people with them, and never once heard a single person say they shouldn't be used.
On a related note, my Shuffle decided to stop working that fucking morning, so I ran in silence the whole way. God bless the crowds for support and bands playing on the streets.
P.S. Walkonby, thanks for noticing. I think :eek:
