Today was my weekly long run. I survived 7 miles, in 1 hour and 40 minutes -- about a 14.5 minute pace.
It was fabulous Michigan weather! Mid 70s, great breeze off the lake at the metro park I run at, lots of shade, but some sections of sun. Perfect!
I had added two new songs to my iPod Shuffle that I use for running -- the music from Soarin' -- very cool. I visualized the parts of the movie as the music played.
The other song was Clocks from Coldplay. Get it, clocks? Time? Half marathon? Actually, I didn't put two and two together until I heard it while running -- I just like the song!
My iPod Shuffle has about 30 songs that either give me energy or make me feel happy when I hear them -- just what I need to get through a long run!
Some of the others are songs from High School Musical and the Jonas Brothers. Also a couple from Barenaked Ladies, Guster and Kevin Hearn. And several from one of my new favorite bands, Carbon Leaf.
Let's have a good week of mileage and breathing hard!!!

Awesome, Deb!!! Great run.
I'll admit....I've got some HSM and HSM2 music on my shuffle as well. Total nerd, but I like "Fabulous" and "I can't dance", makes me laugh cause my daughter tries to sing to them all the time. She walks around the kitchen singing "I need, I need, I need, I need, Fabbbbuuuloooooous.." LOL She's only 3 and half and I think I'm in trouble! ha!
Love the shuffle for running, much easier than straping the 30gb video to the arm...
7 miles!!! Awesome!!! You are doing great and right on target.
I am going to get a shuffle. I have the 30g and I strap it on everytime I hit the pavement.
I have HSM, HSM2 too. And I have some others too. I like everything.
Guess Uncle Scrooge should get prepared. Nice work.
I received a shuffle from a vendor last week as a thank you. Very unexpected and cool. I used it this past Sunday. I have to admit it was nicer for jogging that even my 2G Nano. I liked being able to simply clip it on. It's orange and my daughter wants it really bad. But I'm not caving in. haha.
I'll get Scrooge ready.
Great job Deb! Your doing awesome! It was great to hear ya on AATM.
