28-Minutes of Winning (Win)

This afternoon I went on a run at the gym before the leg routine.  It was a good run, but not as easy as yesterday's run. I am ready for a rest day--actually a rest weekend.  Spending some time in Flagstaff this weekend with my brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law. And, a little adventure called Flagstaff Extreme! A ropes course up in the trees is going to be exciting!

I updated my "long run" playlist on my iPod before going to the gym today.  I really have been relying on music to get through my runs and to help me push myself a little harder.  It's hard to set up a playlist while sitting on the comfy couch at home. What sounds like it will be a good song to run to might not be once I hit the road or the treadmill.  It is harder on the treadmill to listen to music I don't really want to when I have fairly easy access to my iPod. On the road my iPod in in my waist pack and I can't easily change songs so I have to just listen to what ever plays.  

Here is some of the awesome songs that I have been listening to while I run:

Mumford & Sons -- Feel The Tide and Hold On To What You Believe (Live)

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones -- I Want My City Back and Riot On Broad Street

Of Monsters and Men -- Little Talks

Goldfinger -- Mable

Dropkick Murphys -- Captain Kelly's Kitchen and The Dirty Glass 

Flogging Molly -- What's Left Of The Flag and Tobacco Island

Jace Everett -- Bad Things

Da Vinci's Notebook -- Another Irish Drinking Song

Adele -- I Found A Boy

I'll just keep updating my music and adding to the playlist as my runs get longer. It keeps me going and keeps my mind off my legs, feet and lungs. I do allow my self to sing along when I am on the road, especially at the end of a great run during my cool down. But, at the gym sometimes I end up mouthing a few lines when I really need some motivation.
