I was so excited to see a return to Playlist Thursday by Pavement Runner! He picks a theme, and we try to come up with 3 songs that fit the theme.

  • Something old (at least 5 years old)
  • Something new (within the past year)
  • Something to consider (wildcard)

The reason I love this series is because I love finding new music and I have found some great tunes from blog posts about running/workout playlists. I tend to get stuck in a music rut and I often decide right before a race that I want to change things up. Sure enough, I’m racing Saturday (by “racing”, I mean dragging my bones up and down a mountain and hoping to clear out tons of chest congestion at the same time….yes, that’s “racing”) and I need new tunes!

So, without further dawdling, here we go. My choices for Playlist Thursday.

Something old: INXS- Need You Tonight.

This brings back memories from the 90’s when driving around town in the Blue Carolla. Was I really that young once??

 

Something New: I’m so glad I found this (Just released THIS WEEK on youtube from their vevo channel). Album release soon, I hope.  I have several songs from this band and I found most of them from looking at youtube clips of gaming “videos”. That is a great source for running or workout music.

30 Seconds to Mars. The Race

  Also, one that may be overtaking The Race is also new. Up in the Air.

 

Something to Consider: AC/DC Money Talks

I just love this intro and have no idea why it is not already on my playlist. Great running music.

 

Thanks again for bringing this back! Have a great weekend everyone, and never let the music die. Open-mouthed smile

I only carry it around when my nose is in constant turmoil. It’s a good thing the good stuff was on sale. It REALLY is like little quilts. I never paid much attention to it until I took a picture…

So, how did this day go?

6:00 Alarm goes off. And I mutter some form of whine that doesn’t actually make a sound since my throat and vocal cords are on strike. Whatever sound came out freaked out Frankie and he ran.

8:00 Arrive at school. I’m leaving out 2 hours of snot, whining, coughing up chewable green blobs, and attempting to shower and dress.

10:00 Yeah, I’m not doing this. It’s too depressing.

*Fast forward to 4:00pm*

4:00: The doctor’s dianosis “you’re a big mess!”. Whatever, give me the good stuff. 3 more shots, some scary sounding anitbiotics for stubborn sinus infections/rebound infections, good narcs, and enough mucous thinner to deplete the frog population on Duck Dynasty.

  meds

6:00 Enjoy Eucalyptus in all possible forms except, of course, the natural plant form. mist

bath

7:00 pm Re-read a good book while high on cough medicine.

jdrobb

8:00 Feed this bundle of love.

(he refuses to be showcased in black/white. It’s in his contract) frankie

9:00 The steroid shots have kicked in. Massive cleaning project underway as tiger blood zips through me. Frankie hides.

10:00 Sit down to write a blog post 2 years in the making. And then cry. Which brings back the head congestion. SMH.

 

12:00 am. Crash……into me. That’s the song going through my head for some reason.

Sweet like candy to my soul, sweet you rock and sweet you roll…

 

Two days until Twisted Ankle!!

and 1 more Monday left until SCHOOL IS OUT! What a day. Last week we had the ever fun, suffer in silence while the 3rd grade next door took their state standardized tests. There is nothing fun about 24 kindergarten kids having to be absolutely silent for 3 hours at time. But, we all hung [...]

My original idea for dinner was a veggie loaded garlic chicken stir fry. I wanted a lot of vegetables of various color and texture. But then when my head still felt like a pressurized blimp, I changed my mind to wanting something spicy that might open my breathing passages. And this recipe was born. I [...]

May 13, 2013

Running is a great way to lose weight. Running is also a great way to disillusion yourself into a higher pants size. How many times have we come in from a “run” and felt justified in eating a lot of food or eating food that isn’t fueling our machines, but clogging the gears? We may [...]
