Today's Songs to run to!

Of course, how could I go for two whole days without a run or posting my songs to run to? I'm still in a chill kind of run mood but I'm also throwing in some pop and a couple of soundtrack. I'm working the one minute intervals, they just make the time fly. Its true, try it!

Today's list, not in any particular order:

1. If I had you by Adam Lambert (confessional listing here.)

2. Violin by Amos Lee (today's free iTune download)

3. 1,000 faces by Randy Montana (see, I like it free.)

4. Ultra Curve by Cosmic Gate

5. Hold it Against me by Britney Spears (another confessional, ear candy at least isn't fattening.)

6. Marilyn by Larsen B

7. 1973 by James Blunt (I like it, so what if I played it on Monday too.)

8. The Game has Changed by Daft Punk from the Tron soundtrack.

9. End of Line by Daft Punk from the Tron soundtrack.

The podcasts:

1. IronBrandon Show 129

2. Running Stupid

3. B-Had Running

4. Fdip262

5. RVR- Epi80

I don't really listen to everything, it depends on my mood.

Sunny Days!!!

Keeping the clouds away" Sing it with me now!!! OK, enough of the gradeschool flash backs. It is a super sunny day and I plan to run it away later today. Hey, I rhymed! Sometimes its more than ok to go back and work those early lessons again and to relearn and rediscover things you already know you know but somehow get forgotten in the everyday roar of life. I'm working on the C25k program again. But, hey, you know what? I'm faster now and every time I do those early week intervals I am even stronger because I will push myself to do a hill for just one minute that I can't wrap my brain around doing the whole thing and then I discover I can jog most of it and I might just push myself to run around the next ten steps to finish it. See, it was a mind boggle the whole time.

Confidence

I would be mortified if someone noticed me on my runs. Its true. I like to be as anonymous as possible without being so invisible that I get hit by a car. Life may annoy me sometimes and I may get tired, but I'm not quite done yet. I still have two more goals to meet first. Ok, maybe I have three goals to meet. So, I do wear bright white pants and I avoid anything remotely camouflage like. I also wear a great big sweatshirt and long tee shirt. Why is it that being visible is so scary? I do know the answer but why doesn't that just fade away with time? Doesn't time heal all wounds? If it did, I would be better than I am, wouldn't I?

New Trails

I have gotten to the point where my own neighborhood is no longer offering the same level of a challenge. I'm ready to venture out on trails that I have not used before. Luckily, there are many beautiful places to go for a jog including the American River, Folsom Lake, and a myriad of other trails and accesses. I need to invest in one of those ID pockets for my cel ph./driver's license. I think I'm going to be ok. I won't be running in the dark and I will always let my brother know where I'm going before hand. I'm not fast enough to run with others yet. I think I would need to make a sub 12 min. mile first. I'm not there yet.
