The New Workout Video

The 2011 Cooper River Bridge Run is April 2^nd this year and I will be running it again upon my return to South Carolina. Though I know this run will probably kill me (in a good way!), I am looking forward to running it since I will finally be back in Charleston. It will be a great way to celebrate with everyone and will definitely make me feel better about attending my first Jimmy Buffet concert in Tampa 2 weeks later – hoping this run counteracts all those margaritas I foresee in the future! But back to the topic of running, seeing as I am about to go off on a tasty tangent here…we'll save that for another time!

So, running. I do enjoy this type of physical activity, but  it definitely takes a bit of coaxing for me to commit.  Tonight was no different, but a certain Colombian convinced me to get on that treadmill and make it happen. Equipped with Neuro notes in front of me (an ever so nerdy & guilty pleasure) and an iPod laced with the coolest jams, I got through my run with a smile (...sweat) on my face! It wasn't the easiest run, especially in specs fit for Mr. Magoo (thanks pink eye), but I ran straight at a steady pace for 30 minutes…an accomplishment for me, people! Whoooo...

While running, I came across some great tunes (true gems really) and wanted to share the musical highlights that really got me moving. They are either from the 80’s, 90’s or current hits and are personal favorites of mine. Click on each to get a virtual taste of my run this evening! If you don't want to go through all of them, I suggest numbers 1 & 3.
