Running with the Apple Watch Ultra

I started running again. Well, more accurately, I ran this morning. I’m trying to reform the habit.

This was the first time I ran outside since I ran a 10K in November 2016, IIRC. I decided to start again because I need to do something, and running requires the least amount of setup.

Something that excites me is running without my phone on me, which I may have done on occasion in the past. But now that I have an Apple Watch Ultra + AirPods Pro 2, it’s much more plausible for me to run, listen to music, and still have enough battery life to get me through the day.

It was really nice not having a monstrous phone swinging back and forth in my pocket.
