Whoa on the heat wave… a week at 95+ degrees. I need some tunes to motivate.
I have decided that along with the “new workouts” I might need a “new playlist” for my iPod. On Tuesday I posted CHOICES 99 DEGREE HEAT or 6am, seriously, I was so amped up to run those 200m and breathing so hard I didn’t think about tunes.
Then Wednesday I did the 400’s and yeah, I was gasping for breath but, didn’t have my ipod and wished I did, I needed a distraction from the pain.
I was thinking I need to update my iPod, these days, I am listening to the music of what I call “tween- age noise” Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and ooooh, yes, Lady GaGa (what the heck is up with her?) – I don’t know whether to laugh or just join in and sing along (scary that I know the words.)
They don’t make em (music) like they used to – back in the day when I walked 20 miles over a hill in the snow to get to school :-)…
The running workout I am doing Saturday is a timed 5k – this will feel like a sprint… I will definitely need some tunes to “get my run on” and my current playlist isn’t gonna cut it.
I have made this into a game. Each of my girls gets to choose 10 songs in two seperate playlists- and after my run tomorrow I will choose the playlist I liked best winner gets a frozen yogurt. The girls have been busy working on this project all evening ….
The Rules: Song must be upbeat and No Justin Bieber.
I caught a glimpse of this list… uh oh….first I had to decode spelling- this game might have been a mistake that results in a torturous run :-).
I have a feeling everybody will be a winner :-)..
On that note…. I shouldn’t have ended my rest day yesterday with wine because today’s workout SUCKED for me. Afterward I sulked around for a few hours and then decided to get my act together – I turned on my computer and loaded up the CF Games – Burden Run. Wow, ya just have to watch for yourself CROSSFIT GAMES WOMENS BURDEN RUN. This isn’t just any run, it’s a log carrying, sled pulling… well you have to watch. COOL STUFF.
Did you watch CF games today? Which part of the burden run looked toughest to you?
My answer to this question is definitely the sled pull. It is crazy that these women and men could even budge that thing an inch let alone down a field!
