It’s gorgeous outside today and I just got back from a really good run around our neighborhood. According to the Nike+, I ran just under 5 miles- which is decent considering how much I’ve been slacking lately. In my experience, running outdoors is SO much easier than a treadmill because: 1- the scenery is way more interesting, 2- I’ve been blessed with ridiculously flat feet and the treadmill jacks up my knees, and 3- I can check out other people’s yards and houses for landscape/decorating ideas (I guess that’s the same as #1).
Anyway, the iPod gods were good to me today and pretty much every song that came on was a winner. If I ever need motivation during a run, these songs always work:
1. Jonathon Fisk- Spoon
2. Someday- The Strokes
3. Everybody’s Changing- Keane
4. Use It- The New Pornographers
5. Just Like Heaven- The Cure
I add and delete songs to my running playlist fairly often (for example, Miley Cyrus may or may not be on there right now… My best friend Lesley says, “Oh she’s just bein’ Miley.”), but these are a few of the standby’s.
Apparently Chloe and Piper wanted in on the outdoor action. Chloe even put on her little pink sports bra in anticipation:
So Chloe got her walk… and now she’s a happy puglet:
We’re going out for my Dad’s b-day tonight, so hopefully I’ll have more pics to post tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
