Playlist for fast feet

Ok, so I am not sure how fast your feet will be and I make no claim to have created a list that will have you finishing a 1/2 marathon in under 2 hours but the songs I am about to list help me get into a rhythm and stay there for awhile. I have arranged them in no particular order and I have them playing on shuffle on either my iPod or my mp3 player. And still, some days, I run to just the sound of my own two feet, that is, when I am lucky enough to get off the hamster mill and run outside. I hope you find at least a few of these tunes valuable investments for your running dollar.

Burn it to the Ground—Nickelback
Something in your Mouth—Nickelback
If Today was Your Last Day—Nickelback
Gotta Be Somebody—Nickelback
Re Education (through labor)—Rise Against
Satellite—Rise Against
Collapse (Post Amerika)—Rise Against
The Dirt Whispered—Rise Against
Make It Stop (September’s chldren)—Rise Against
Famous Last Words—My Chemical Romance
Disenchanted—My Chemical Romance
This is How I Disappear—My Chemical Romance
The Sharpest Lives—My Chemical Romance
Dead—My Chemical Romance
Animal I Have Become—Three Days Grace
Riot!—Three Days Grace
Break—Three Days Grace
The Good Life—Three Days Grace
The Anthem—Good Charlotte
Lifestyles of the Rich and The Famous—Good Charlotte
The Young and the Hopeless—Good Charlotte
Blow Me Away—Breaking Benjamin
Evil Angel—Breaking Benjamin
Had Enough—Breaking Benjamin
Skin—Breaking Benjamin

This is really only a partial list and I will add more in time. I also found a cool App called PaceDJ which is an app (1.99) for android or iPod that will take your running tempo and find songs on your SD card that match the tempo…I just installed it and it found all the rockin’ songs on my phone that match the 160 beats per minute that I like to maintain when I am running. Search it and see if it’s something you would like and I will let you know in a week if the app is all it is cracked up to be.

Until then, if music is part of your motivation to walk, run, jog, bike or swim, I hope this list gives you something to ‘play’ with.

Happy feet!

Trust and Drivers

This may seem more about poor drivers than about running but without the ability to trust the people on the road who are wielding thousands of pounds of bone crushing metal, rubber, and plastic, running near the roadway will become more and more dangerous. Hence, I feel the need to send some thoughts out into the universe in hopes of keeping others safe as well as alerting those in charge of Karmic distribution to pay closer attention. And so, an open letter to drivers... Dear Drivers, When driving, I implore you to pay attention to stop lights. Stop lights are traffic control devices that allow cars to move through the intersection in an orderly manner and to minimize collisions. A lesser known reason for traffic control lights is for pedestrians. Perhaps you haven't noticed the pattern that connects the stop lights to the walk/don't walk signs; let me elaborate. When your light turns green, you can proceed through the intersection and pedestrians walking or running in the

January 2, 2018...a great day to begin again.

It seemed too cliche to begin a new, and more consistent, year of this blog on New Year's Day 2018 so, like all good procrastinators, I decided this morning, during my 6 mile 'wog', to begin a mostly-daily-reflection of the year as it unfolds. I will attempt to chronicle the daily struggles and the beautiful events as they happen but please understand that I abhor routine and intentionally have to schedule time for even the most automatic tasks. Bear with me. I will try. Moreover, I will attempt to write relate-able and relevant posts but if there is anything specific you'd ever like to read about, let me know and I will attempt to write about it ;-). Which brings me to today. But first, back to Sunday, the 31st of December 2017 when I resolved to run 4 miles because, frankly, I knew I wanted to sleep in the next morning and in my self satisfied noggin, I felt completely justified swapping the miles I did on the 31st with sleeping in on New Year's Day (but still f

Balboa Park 8 Miler; A new annual tradition

Image
Along comes an event that just begs to be run again and just yesterday, August 5, 2017, was such an event. The Balboa Park 8 Miler  is a mixed course run that brings together people who love to challenge themselves and each other while supporting each other and having fun! This year marks the 63rd anniversary and I am forced to shout out loud, "HOW DID I NOT EVER HEAR OF THIS BEFORE?" The morning was warm but the humidity had finally subsided a bit after so many days of that 'breathing under water' feeling. When we arrived and parked at about 6 AM (for a 7 AM start) we were met with vendors and a start/finish area that was welcoming and wide open. We were greeted by a very upbeat and spirited MC who regaled us with his humor and funky music that just added to the positive vibes flowing everywhere. We joked about the port-a-potty lines narrowing into three lines snaking into the warm up area and wondered (not so silently) why there wasn't a line for each tiny o
