going for distance

Well, I did it today.  I ran for 7 minutes straight.  I know I know, wimpy by some standards.  But, it was easy and felt good.  The only reason that I really had to stop was that my shoe came untied.  Then I just couldn't capture that groove again.  So I did intervals the rest of the time. 
I managed 2 miles in 28 mins - including cool down.  Pretty good considering that the first mile was done by 11 mins. 

Tomorrow I will go running with Lesley AND hopefully bike ride with Kyle.  I am looking forward to it.

Music makes the Treadmill go round.

Treadmill work today - I was worried it would rain while I was outside, so I just went to Fitness Premier instead.  Bonus: I did weights. 

I took my sister's advice and used some music on the ipod for running last week and it was so great - I downloaded more songs and made a special playlist for today.  I find that OkGo's Here it goes again a great running song.  So great I looked up the BPM's and tried to find other songs that were the same.  My search let me to some music by the Killers, and Spoon.  I think that I will be looking into more songs today. I may solicit some suggestions from friends.
