lost and running.

Ok. so not literally lost and running, but almost. tonight i was running on the track at the Y, and i had just finished lap 15 when "I Still Haven't Found..." by U2 came on (which we all know is MY JAM - Anna will attest to this!). I picked up my pace a little bit, and started singing along in my head really loud... i was groovin - I can't help but get lost in that track when it comes on! Well, after that VIVA came on, and I kept jamming... of course next thing I know, I have lost my lap count for good. This happens to me often and i think it is because once I hear a good song I just get wrapped up in the music and forget about what # I'm on... which is a good/bad thing. I think i might have to start the rubber band counter trick like the little kids do when they walk at the Y. it's silly, but i think that is the only thing that might work :)

so tonight i ran for 30 min and it felt amazing... the last 3 laps i finished with Mimi and she pushed me to sprint my last one. i think i will definitely sleep well tonight! This past Saturday I went to Umstead Park again and ran a new trail there. i want to keep up with going there once a week because it is so nice to be outside there. i have found this one trail that when you get to the end you overlook the airport, and it is beautiful & peaceful. so nice.
Girls - I'm glad each of you are getting out there this week! Hope your runs are good. LA, thank you so much for the running mix. i listened to it while on my run tonight and it was def. full of great songs!

Songs this week: 99 Problems - Jay-Z, MJB da MVP - Mary J Blige, Touch the Sky - Kanye. several from Lil Wayne. Yes, this week has been very urban i know... i love it.
