Juxtaposition: What's in My Ears When I Run
I am participating in the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge. Today’s letter is J.
A big issue I have with running is the fact that I absolutely must have music. It’s best if I don’t hear my feet hitting the pavement or my breathing come in racking gasps — these just psyche me out and make me want to stop. So, I have my music. What many don’t realize is that the collection of music on my phone is quite eclectic. Some would be surprised by what I’ve chosen. I thought it would be fun to share my playlist so you can “hear” what I hear when I run (and maybe give you some ideas of good running songs).
For the purpose of this post, I hit shuffle. Here is the list!
What are some of your favorite songs when you’re working out?
I used to listen to Pump It when I walked every day at the Y! Now I play SongPop while I walk on my treadmill. An hour flies by…but I don’t think you could do that while running!
Visiting from the A to Z signup page. Great to meet you!
