I am going to train for a 5k, it’s something that I’ve been
looking forward to doing, I actually really love running. Going to start slow, and build up. I’d love to do the ½ marathon in 2015. I have a favorite playlist even though it’s
kind of old because it’s been a while since I really ran seriously (stress
fracture, plantar fasciitis, I’m lazy, and busy). When I run, I have a few songs that I really
LOVE, that totally get me pumped.
And some of my favorite songs are understandable you’d
probably think “oh yeah that makes perfect sense” but there are probably songs
that you might be surprised about. And
for the most part, I do listen to Christian music. When I would run years ago, it was
Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Eminem, and Christina Aguilera and I’d love it, but
when I started the Biggest Loser at church, I found that I could not run to it
anymore, it was weird, I couldn’t find my groove in running. So… I deleted a lot of songs off, and
recruited help with some running songs.
So… this song it’s my
favorite… it makes me crazy excited to
run…
This song gets my pumped because even though I have to get
past some of the language, it reminds me that the strength within me (from
Jesus) can’t be stopped. That no matter what people say about me, I will keep
going. Fall down 7 times, get up 8.
I have participated in a half marathon (I did not run the
whole thing!!) and have run up to 10 miles without stopping and all that
training made me to believe I could do anything… but then I stopped… and then
that takes me to a whole new mess of tornado of yuck I think about myself. And
if I am honest a 5k doesn’t seem like much for me because I’ve run more than
that. And I never think that when other
people run 5ks, so I am giving myself a little slack, and I am going to focus
on doing 5ks well, and just taking small steps to make myself better, and to
not beat myself up.
I love running and one of my goals was to complete a 5k (My
goal was by May, but better late than never).
I might walk it with friends or run it, who knows, but the goal will be
completed, and I will begin training tonight.
With my favorite song J
