Last Night's Twilight Run

No vampires in sight...just an awesome sunset at Redondo Beach.

A Runner's Wishlist: Part 2

Of all the treadmill brands, Smooth Fitness is one that is very highly rated. Since Travis and I want to buy a treadmill that will last (best quality/value for the moolah), we're set on a Smooth Fitness. Especially zeeeees one:

I present to you, the Smooth 6.45 Treadmill.

Features that are necessary for me and the hubby include:

• Sturdy design
• Incline of 15%
• Speed range greater than 10 mph
• Stored user profiles
• Quiet motor
• Costs less than a new car...

Nice, eh? And of course, Nordies is where it's at.

In need of these songs

Thanks, Liz!--for the suggestion of Women's Health playlist!
These are the songs I need:

• Firestarter - The Prodigy (Heck yes!)
• Girlfriend - Avril Lavigne (Yeah, this is a good beat)
• Pump It & Boom Boom Pow- Black Eyed Peas (Funky fresh fun, yo)
• B.O.B. - OutKast (Totally awesome & reminds me of HS)
• The Rockafeller Skank - Fatboy Slim (Oooo, yeah!)
• Here It Goes Again - Ok Go (I see)
• Around the World - Daft Punk (A classic)
  

Just when I think I'm coming out ahead...

I fall behind.

Seriously, I was doing so well with running every single day, but then I got a cold, and it all goes *kapooey* just like that. Yup, sound effect and all. I tried running last night and was wheezing so badly after the first hill that I contemplated stopping and turning around. Don't get me wrong, I kept running, at a slightly slower pace, but I only logged one measly mile.

Since my last logged run was Friday July 3rd, I feel like a failure. However, I did paddleboat like a maniac on Friday PM, and all Saturday. I tracked how far I went too: 3.25 miles! Paddleboating! Crazy! But it was so much fun, and I was sweating from pedaling so hard.

I guess I have to remember that any physical activity is good, regardless of logging mileage.

Suggestions?

I need a new running playlist. Mine is completely worn out and I'm not as motivated as I used to be. Hard rock, techno, alternative beats get me going really fast, so anything that I can jam out to is sufficient.

Suggestions?

The Twilight Run

Ok, so now my favorite time to go running is at around 8/8:30ish. It's so gorgeous out! The weather is just warm enough and not too hot where I feel like I'm drowning in my own sweat. Ah yes, twilight!
