Okay, so I’m on a bit of TRON kick today. It happens! THis has to be one of my favorite songs to run to, work out to, and just listen to. What I love about this song, especially when I’m running (yes, nerds run) is that it one of those songs that the beat just drives me (or you). So, as I have the day off of running, Enjoy this awesome song on me!

I just ran across (pun intended) a really cool jogging website! Jog Fm is a great site that allows you to put in your jogging (or running) mile time and it will pick songs to match your jogging cadence! What a cool way to run! I really like this site. It gives you the option to buy the playlist or you can keep your list if you already have the songs. Here’s my list for 10:00 mile:

 

F**kin' Perfect
BPM
good for a
mile
Animal
BPM
best for a
mile
What the Hell
BPM
best for a
mile
Harder to Breathe
BPM
best for a
mile
Someone Like You

Say It Ain't So

Week One http://www.mygeekvoice.com/2009/07/20/portland-marathon-aka-what-was-i-thinking-week-one/ http://www.mygeekvoice.com/2009/07/20/portland-marathon-aka-what-was-i-thinking-week-one/#comments Mon, 20 Jul 2009 22:44:09 +0000 Krisy http://www.mygeekvoice.com/?p=301

After watching the Raising Sextuplets episode from two weeks ago, I felt inspired. If Jenny Masche, mom to sextuplets could do a half-marathon in the Surf City USA Marathon, then why couldn’t I, mother of two, complete a full marathon? So, after watching the episode, I went for a quick run and felt empowered. I got done with my run and announced that I was going to enter the Portland Marathon. It seems like I am always training for something and then it falls through. I admit that I tend to quit things. Well, now, I am determined to see this thing through. I have twelve weeks until the race and I think I can make it. I am planning to do a low-key pace during the marathon, infact, I think that I will end of walking most of it, but I really want the finisher’s medal and that’s what matters to me. (Cut me a little bit of slack, I just had a baby two months ago!) Next year, it’s running time!

So, this begins the countdown, Week One. I have a lot to get going on. I plan on hitting the gym for a three mile run on the treadmill. I would prefer to be outside in the beautiful weather, however Sophia‘s jog stroller went to jog stroller heaven (after literally being used for thousands of miles!) and she whines the whole way if we walk for more than a mile. (She’s only four.) With Sarah only being a couple of months old and not totally able to hold up her head by herself, I can’t put them both in the bike cart, besides I need the conversion wheel and handlebar parts for our bike cart anyway! So, off to the gym where the kids can play and I can run without abandon.

My goals for the week:

  1. Eat healthy and follow my Weight Watchers
  2. Run 3 miles, 3x this week
  3. keep breathing and try to enjoy the process!
