Another 5k today at the gym. This run was easier than the last one and I kept a steadier, faster pace. I ran on a treadmill close to the window so I could look out on this little lagoon in the river. I also had the TV attached to my treadmill tuned to soccer and the iPod running full volume. I had a lot going on but it really helped keep me from getting bored. Often I feel like I need a distraction from the running itself or I just think about all the effort it takes to move one foot infront of the other. I liked being able to alternate from focusing on the music, to the TV, to the lagoon, to the stats on the treadmill screen. The run definitely went easier will all that stuff going on!
Favorite new running song: Supermassive Black Hole, Muse.
This song just PUMPED me up around 2.5 miles in.
Another Favorite is Follow Me Down (remix), by 3OH!3. Both good songs that just put some pep in my step!
After Running I went and worked out. I haven't worked out other than running in a while and it felt good. I did ab work, leg work and arm work. I think I'll be sore tomorrow!
I liked Mir's idea of all of us running 5k on June 2nd for National Running Day. What do ya'll think?
i like your pun on our fave JayZ anthem! I'm down for running a 5k on the 2nd, I think it would be fun if we all did it together, but now with Anna all engaged and all.... she may not want to do it :) jk. love you A
