Playlist

I had one of those rare running experiences this evening. I can always tell--within the first three blocks of feet hitting the pavement--what kind of run it is going to be. Usually, it's the "There's-no-possible-way-I'm-going-to-finish-this-without-Divine-intervention" run. Shockingly, tonight's workout wasn't like that. This was a "Gosh-I-actually-feel-like-a-runner" run. There could be several reasons for this.

Possibly it was due to the fact that it was a delicious 67 degrees outside with almost no wind.

But I think more than anything, it was probably the playlist.

I can't run without tunes.

Now I'm not one of those people who creates a million playlists for different things. Seriously. I like all my music, so I set the thing on shuffle and head on my way. But frankly, some of it isn't really the "get up and go" type stuff that's suitable for running. But tonight was just a really fabulous cocktail of great running music. I didn't have to skip through any of it--which is shocking.

And since none of the other thoughts taking residence in my brain are at all appropriate for this blog :o) and I'm sure my mom is wanting a new post, I'll treat you to my playlist from this evening:
