Oh wow, I must be official. I added a running category. Hmm...I feel all strong and like I need to pick a race to run with Rachel somewhere near the ocean. Oh my! Did I just type that out loud?!
I do, after all, have new running shoes. And the Nike + iPod thing that now tracks my time, distance, and pace. It is so cool. Knowing I have a computer chip thing in my shoe that talks to the iPod in my hand makes me feel kinda like the Bionic Woman.
(Aren't they pretty? All silver and red?)
I even have new running duds. New running pants and running shorts to go with the tee-shirt that Toben hunted down for me. (You can't find them anywhere, but he did. I got the last one in Arizona.)
What I listen to while I run depends on how I feel, and so I have a bunch of different running mixes on my iPod.
Here's some of what's on them:
The mixes that Toben has made for me don't have track names on them. One is filled with great 80s music, the other with more recent hip/hop. And, of course, there's always the soundtracks from Glee. And just picking an artist like Kirk Franklin and taking him for a run.
Oh, and I love country music too.
I mix it up quite a bit. And I mix up the mixes on my way out the door, adding and subtracting songs depending on what I want to hear. From time to time, I do listen to sermons, but I like it LOUD so I can't hear myself breathe. And then it feels like whoever is preaching is just yelling at me.
My favorite from this morning's run? Sweet Home Alabama.
I love that you have Amy Adams' That's How You know. That and So Close are my two fave songs right now.
If and when the snow ever clears out...I will be pounding the pavement again.
I think I'm going to start pulling my playlists together...I usually have one for powerwalking and a seperate one for lifting and abs.
You, my friend, are an inspiration and motivator for me AGAIN.
Love you tons.
Susan

That is awesome. Music is so motivating...I do a lot of spinning and the music makes the class.

When I used to run, I always had to crank my music up. Hearing myself breathe so hard completely discouraged me.
