This is an update from the last two days since I was down yesterday. I finally did run my 3 miles in 30:and some change. I couldn't believe my eyes when I check my stopwatch at the 2 mile mark and saw I had a little more than 10 minutes to go. I pushed it so hard and was in so much pain, but the joy of the accomplishment was well worth it. The rest of the day was push and pull. Connor had a rough day so it ultimately affects my day. I tried a tivo'ed workout from Fit TV and had my @$$ kicked. Supersets with Kathe was rough. Thankfully, I sold my handweights a few months ago and *shoot* couldn't lift with weights, only some soup cans and it still made me work. I felt awesome yesterday! Between the run and the strength training (kind of), I felt the best I have in weeks.
Today was an "off-day." I walked for 45 minutes in the morning. The weather was beautiful so the walk felt great.
The subject line is in response to something Jo had said about needed music while she runs. I live and die by my playlist. I need my music to push me to the next level when I feel like quitting. My walking playlist is just music that makes me happy. Typically, 70's and 80's music, oh, and a lot Dolly Parton....she is fabulous.
My run playlist is a mix of songs that has taken me months and months of trial and error and finding what worked for me. It had a few requirements: it had to inspire me and it had to be upbeat. It starts out a little slower (when I don't need to boost) and then by the end, I am rocking full out!
