Day 8 - Is not so Great!

Ok so I sooooo did NOT want to walk today, but I did.  That is what's great! My attitude NOT so great! I don't know why I practice Opposite Day. Yesterday I wanted to run (that's right I said run), today I didn't want to get off the couch. Well I did get my limbs moving and into gear, completing a whopping 2 miles!.  I needed some oil like the Tin Man.  

Now that I'm starting to go longer distances I think it will be IMPORTANT to have some up beat tunes. I think the beats will take my mind OFF what I'm doing and help me to SUCCEED. Without music I tend to dwell on the fact that I'm walking not wanting to, as opposed to JAMMIN' to some POP music. My last half marathon I didn't have nearly enough music to keep me entertained NOR was it upbeat enough to keep me motivated. I listened to "I'm Bringin' Sexy Back" and "Love Stoned" waaaay to many times to be proud of. I guess I can say that I HUNG out with Justin for 03:42:12. Haha!

Do YOU have any good suggestions for upbeat running music? I think that music will make a difference if I want to run or walk, during my race.   The BETTER slash faster the beat the faster I will be.  Let's DO IT!!!

2 Miles = 33:45 min
1st - 17:10 
2nd -16:35 (finished strong!!)
