My running buddy was out of town (my step-dad) so I managed to get 6 miles in alone. (I'm all for about 3-4 alone but above that I usually like to run with someone just to keep my brain busy.) SO instead I strapped on the trusty ipod and arm band and cued up the new music I bought from Amazon (have I mentioned I buy everything from Amazon these days? I even had TP
delivered a while back. HA! : )Anyway-- yesterday's music was Third Day's Move
CD.
I know Christian Music is not for everyone but I was seriously having me a worship session while I was running-- singing along (to words I really didn't know) and all. It was probably pretty funny to watch or hear. A lot of the lyrics seemed to pump me up for running! And with the beautiful weather I was in a Hallelujah kinda-state. I've found as I get older I care a lot less about what other people think, so I was jamming out while I ran. (I will totally be one of those crotchety-crazy old ladies because of my stubbornness and reasons like this.)
Bad (or flat out dumb) running ideas for the day--
Forgetting to throw any water in the car (luckily I live close to the park where I run) but I use water as my motivation to hurry and get back to the car!
Wearing thick wool socks to run in! Hello dumb idea. My feet had been cold earlier, I was wearing pants and it seemed like a good idea to forgo changing socks before my run. I regretted that as soon as I hit about mile 3 and my shoes were feeling too tight and I had a few toes going numb! Did I also mention it was about 70 degrees out?? Wool socks?!
So yeah, great run and 6 more weekends before the half marathon race. Here is what our weekend runs will look like just based on scheduling or travel.
