Green Monster for Two+ Music Ideas!
Can you believe it’s Friday, this week just flew by! I have to make this post quick, I still have to finish packing and getting everything ready to leave at 4:30am tomorrow morning.
This morning I went for a 30 minute jog around the block, legs felt tight at first but then warmed up and started feeling good. I ran SUPER EASY, and didn’t look at Garmin, but once to check on the time. I ended up running around 3 miles, which was what I was shooting for. When I got in I did all of my IT band stretches, and busted out the foam roller. I am developing a love/hate relationship with my foam roller, I love that I feel great after I use it,but it is PAINFUL(good pain).
For breakfast I tried to use up all my spinach and fruit so I made little C and I some major Green Monsters! I used strawberries, bananas, almond milk, PB2, Flax seed, cherries, blueberries, and protein powder.
I also had a light ww Thomas English Muffin with Naturally More PB.
Little C LOVED it!
Thanks for all the packing ideas! I managed to get everything in to one bag and now I am packing my carry on and getting that check list crossed off. I still need to make that Ipod playlist!!!
This is my race day/carry on bag!! I got it for Christmas and finally am getting to use it:)
Question for you: What is you favorite workout song that get’s you PUMPPED during your workouts???
Hope you all are having a HAPPY FRIDAY and enjoy your weekend!

Lately I love the Game-Higher! So excited for you-
Can't wait to hear your race report!
Good luck in Boston!
I love to hear Beautiful Day by U2 right before a good run :)
I was actually going to ask what songs you have on your ipod that gets you pumped up and keeps you pumped up during your run. Once you make the list will you please post it? I would love some new songs!!!
YAY! right now: let it rock by kevin rudolph/little wayne. and always love the linkin park/jay-z collaboration.
Your carry-on bag says "SERIOUS RUNNER", and I love it!
Good luck this weekend!! I am SO excited for you, I can't wait to hear all about it. :) I re-read your background story earlier this week and it just gave me so much inspiration and motivation - you are amazing!!!
I'm not really sure I have just ONE song that gets me super motivated, but I know the song "Let it Rock" by Kevin Rudolph pops into my head right away. I've always loved the song, but during my last 1/2 mile of my half back in October I was struggling and that song came on and I just got super pupmed and "let it rock" to the finish. :) It's actually the only song I remember hearing during the race!!
Sorry, long rant - GOOD LUCK!!
Good luck and have fun!
One song that always pops up on my ipod during a race and really gets my blood pumping is "Hey Ya" by Outkast. Random, but true. :)
Are the gels/goo going to go in a quart plastic bag before you go through security? I thought you had to have em in a baggie :)
make sure you pack your SHOES in your CARRYON! good luck, have fun, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

my fav running song.. well I have a few.. I like country songs like "Where I'm from" .. fast songs like Pink - "So What"
My favorite "get me pumped" song is "Survivor" by Destiny's Child. SO GOOD!!!!
I like the song "lets get it started". I always listen to that before races.
