100 Mile Challenge - Complete!

Jan 31, 2010 23:30

Got in 5 miles today... a bit other than planned. Got to the gym and went to start the iPod to listen to another podcast and it didn't start. It had the same problem a few weeks ago, so I think it's probably at the end of its useful lifecycle, but I'll let fullauto work on it later in the week ( Read more... )

Hmm. Without a beat, I have NO rhythm. I've timed myself, I walk, run, and bike almost 25% faster with music. I realize faster isn't always the point, but that beat sure does help. Otherwise, I have to actually focus on picking up my feet and moving them, about how to move my arms, etc.

Thanks! It feels good to be done... I'm tired... but it was well worth it :)

Now I need to get back to that 100 pushup challenge or something, too...

Sometimes the music will get me moving faster, but it definitely depends on what music is playing... If I've got a shuffle going on the ipod, I'd get something upbeat and fast for one song and the next something that might make me want to take a nap... haven't made a good running mix...

...I tried downloading someone else's music for a couch to 5K thing and it wasn't my speed so it was more annoying than helpful. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to focus on deliberately moving your feet and arms either...

...and Herzlichen Glueckwuench zum Geburtstag, auch wenn der Tag fuer dich schoen vorbei ist... es tut mir leid, dass ich nicht fruher schreiben koennte. Hoffentlich war er ein guten Tag.
