Ok, so it's not really the WWAMD diet anymore. It's: lace up your running shoes and hit the pavement. Anyone who knows me would scoff at this - Paula: RUNNING? Say it ain't so. But it's true. I've been running 5 times per week, thanks to my day job colleagues and our "Brand, Sweat & Tears" team. The scale isn't moving as quickly as I had hoped, but I'm proud to say that this morning was my lowest weight in a while. Woot!
{insert quick shout-out to Dexter at Run for Your Life in Stonecrest. Go there if you're planning on starting running or need some new kicks. They're pretty cool, even if they do pick on you for trying on like 3 dozen shoes in an hour}
Our team started running intervals on May 29, so it's been about 6 weeks. Coach Maghan set us up a plan where we increase our intervals each week; we run together as a group on Fridays after work. End goal: The Greek Festival 5K on August 29. My first 5k!!
My friend Tonya is running too (another WOOT!), and we were comparing playlists this morning. Figured I would share with all 6 of my readers. :)
This week is my 8/1x3 (Run for 8 minutes, walk for 1, times 3). I used my snazzy new iMac to create a podcast of my music, and my voiceover that alerts me when to slow down for my walk, and when to speed back up. Plus, I can insert a little 'inspiration' to myself at the end congratulating myself on a run well done. Cheesy, check.
Sugarland: All I want to do
Sugarland: It happens

What's on your playlist right now? What song gets you moving when you have no more energy left?
