I’m in a giving mood!
The other night I went on an iTunes music purchase frenzy. I needed running music! I noticed during my last run that when my music stops then I stop. So I laid in bed that night and brain stormed songs that when played I can’t sit down. You know the ones that completely embarrass your kids because when you hear them you forget you’re not the only one in the room and before you know it the home phone turned into your microphone and the living room is your stage?! Ooooo yeah, that’s the kind of songs I listed! Before I knew it I purchased and had created my ultimate running playlist. Here’s a sample:
- Smooth Criminal (Alien Ant Farm)
- Block Rockin’ Beats (The Chemical Brothers)
- Gotta Get Thru This (Daniel Bedingfield)
- Isaac (Madonna)
- Boom Boom Pow (Black Eyed Peas)
- Renegades of Funk (Rage Against the Machine)
- Temperature (Sean Paul)
- Impressive Instant (Madonna)
- Runaway Lover (Madonna)
- SexyBack (Justin Timberland)
- Toxic (Britney Spears)
I can’t believe I’m saying this let alone printing it….”I enjoy my exercise sessions!” I’m digging my time being pushed by my personal trainer. I look forward to my evening walks with my neighbor and friend and I love pushing myself during running. I really enjoy putting in my earphones, blocking out the world, taking off pounding the payment and blasting my music. Music motivates and helps me dig deeper during exercising and in my everyday life.
