Brief Hiatus

I have had a minor set back in my running.  I have a small injury on my pinky toe of my right foot.  It’s painful to walk sometimes so running has been out of the question.  I’m hoping that in a week or so I will be all healed and ready to run again. 

In the meantime, I will be updating my iPod with some new tunes.  I’ve got a nice list of songs that I can’t wait to download.  New music is always motivating. 

I’m thinking about getting some new shoes too.  The shoes I currently use for working out are easily 3+ years old.  They are starting to get worn down.  I’m sure they are fine for strength training but probably not for running.  If I’m really serious about running I should have the proper shoes so that I don’t get injured. 

You may have also noticed that I stopped taking picture of my food – brief hiatus on that too.  Work has been so crazy lately that I always forget my camera and I’m constantly eating the same meals because it’s quick and easy. When things calm down at work (after March 15th) pictures of my meals should start back up again.

Question:  What are some of your favorite songs on your running playlist?

    Anything Beyonce…most of the trendy songs on the radio now are pretty upbeat and keep me moving…kesha (I know, terrible :) ), Usher, etc. Anything that makes me want to dance is good for running :)

    Sorry to hear about your injury dear! I know how tough it is be injured when all you want to be doing is running outside, letting the gorgeous sun kiss your face! Your first run coming off of this hiatus is going to be FANTASTIC!

    Best running songs for me:

    1) You Can’t Stop the Beat-Hairspray Soundtrack
    2) Paradise By the Dashboard Lights-Meatloaf
    3) Walking on Sunshine-Katrina and the Waves
    4) 99 Red Ballons-Nena
    5)Bat Outta Hell-Meatloaf
