So.... Running

Running has never been my strength. To tell you the truth, I absolutely abhorred the 20 minute run they made us do in middle school. But determination can solve anything right? Well this morning I was determined to wake up this morning at 6:30am and go running. It started out slow. I rolled over to my alarm and pushed the snooze. Then I sleepyly found my sweats that set out the night before. (Now the hard part) I reached up and turning on the light to guarantee I got out of bed. I laid back in bed and stretched my way to the door. Nothing was going to stop me this morning, not even myself.
The morning was quiet. Delightfully quiet. I put in my ear buds and was on my way. I started out strong and ran about a half a mile before my ears and chest started hurting. I pushed myself another quarter then slowed to a brisk walk. I can believe how much I felt the muscles in my bum work and tighten. It was.... exhilarating. But even though I quit smoking two weeks ago I dont think my lungs are ready for a full on run. Little do they know that I will be pushing them again tomorrow.
The moke playlist I made for running also helped out as much as I found out that some songs just didnt work.

Here is my Running Playlist:
Lose Yourself - Eminem
Howling for You - The Black Keys
Gold Guns Girls - Metric
Helena Beat - Foster the People
Pumped Up Kicks - Foster the People

This is technically only half of my playlist I listened to but it was the one that motivated me. I was pumped whnever these songs came on and I couldn't help but run to the beat (180). It was a nice little workout and I hope i can keep it up.

My goal for the running should come to fruition on December 15th 2012 for "Run For Your Lives" in Austin Texas.

Its a 5K marathon that has you running from Zombies and going through obstacles to win. all they had to say was Zombie and I was in.
This is my goal.
I will succeed
I will not get caught by zombies.
I will have a firm runners ass by next year.
