L is for Listening List


Several weeks ago I asked for suggestions for my walking/jogging playlist. My request was made on Facebook and my blog. Although I had some great suggestions, my playlist is not perfected. This morning as I dodged rain puddles and started week three of C25K, my playlist made me sluggish. A jogging playlist should not make one sluggish. As Usher sang "Moving Mountains", I was certain I would need to move mountains to keep running. I ended with Eminem's "Shake That" which had a great beat, but the lyrics are too much for a cool down. Those two songs plus the three Train songs have been removed. Yesterday I removed "Redemption Song", good song, too slow. I guess it's a work in progress. BTW- Any suggestions?


L is also for La Luna since there is a full moon tonight!

I have some super weird music on my playlist but most of them keep me moving. Here are a few of the really good ones:

Krista Detour - Rich Man's Life...strong steady beat

Magic Carpet Ride (Fat Boy Slim Version...really hoppin!)

From the Slumdog Millionaire soundtracl: Ringa Ringa and Paper Planes

Lust for Life (Yo Lo Tango)

I Thank You (ZZ Top)

Heaven when we're home (The Wailin' Jennys)

Turning Japanese (The Vapors)

Adir Adirim (by Balkan Beat Box--they were at Lotus one year!)

And my all time favorite running song....Baby Got Back, by Sir Mix A Lot ;) ;) ;) I end up running and laughing at the same time

Hope you find something you like here!!!

This is nice. The C25K woman, "Laura," provides the music for me. But soon I will borrow some of these ideas and make a slogging mix. Well done U 2!

I didn't know that there were Podcasts to go along with C25K. As I'm commenting, I'm listening to see if Laura should join me.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
