Running and I have a very love hate relationship. I hate it while I am doing it, but the feeling after and the way my pants are fitting loosely keeps me coming back for more. I think my relationship with running is bordering on the bi-polar level. While I am running I want to yell at someone, anyone. At the gym, I find myself hoping someone will walk up to me a start a fight… just so I can yell at them. What is wrong with me? Heck, I don’t need a trainer, what I need is someone I can pay to walk up and talk smack to me so I can yell at them and run more! Trainer smainer.
My relationship with running got a major bump in the right direction this week. My anniversary gift was a bright pink beautiful Apple iPod Nano… or whatever it’s called. The name is not really important. What is important is that I love it. As soon as Dan figured out how to work it and then taught me (I’m not a patient “look at the directions” type of person), I had all my favorite songs downloaded. Then running and I made another go of it. I ran for 45 minutes and really enjoyed it (okay, that might not be true… I “tolerated it” might be a better word choice). My selection of running music might be a little weird. But the important thing is I kept going and it was okay. So my plan is to keep up with the 45 minutes for a few weeks and them bump up to *gasp* 1 hour!
Another tiny little fact about me: I get bored easily. So I will be bored with my current selection of running music probably by Sunday. Which brings me to the point of this post: Please please please give me ideas of songs to download for running. What’s good? What has a good beat? I pretty much like anything, but it has to have a good beat to keep me going. Any suggestions???
It's a Miracle!
