Don’t forget to enter my CLICK Espresso Protein Giveaway! You have until NEXT Wednesday to enter!
I wish I had something exciting to tell you about yesterday.
Instead I only took a total of 3 pictures.
My Tuesday night ended like this.
My Wednesday started like this.
There was lots and lots of kitty love going around my in-laws house.
The cats get really cold in the winter and since the temperatures dropped to the low 20’s that night they were all about staying close.
I went to the gym with Wes in the morning before we got back on the road. I did an hour easy walk (3.7 mph, 1% incline) and then some arms and abs.
It was a good workout.
I am in the mode of doing one harder workout day and then take an entire day off. It is seeming to work pretty well for me. It gives my leg time to rest and recover and so far still no pain.
Today is the very last interview and then we are spending 3 more nights in NC visiting and relaxing before heading back to Erie, PA. We have a two week break before we start traveling again.
I don’t want to go back to Erie but I do look forward to seeing my fur children soon! I miss them like crazy!
I have shared with you some of my favorite workout songs a couple times before, but I decided it’s time to update to some of the new songs I am loving.
1. “Stay” – Florida Georgia Line
2. “Still Into You” – Paramore
3. “Counting Stars” – One Republic
4. “Sunny and 75” – Joe Nichols
5. “Silverado Bench Seat” – Granger Smith
6. “Hold On We’re Going Home” – Drake
As you can see a majority of them this time are country. I guess this North Carolina trip is bringing back the inner southern girl in me.
They aren’t all quick paced songs, but I enjoy a variety of tempos when working out.
What are some of your favorite workout songs? (I’m always looking to update mine!)
What is your favorite genre of music for running or working out?
AAAHHH! So I was going to ask about it on Instagram when you said the treadmill pic was ‘literally the only picture’ … because the death of the word ‘literal’ is one of those pet-peeves. Not something that causes me major angst, more like constant confusion … 🙂
My wife bought the Paramour song on iTunes a few weeks ago, she really loves it – it was on the radio and she was jamming as she pulled into the parking lot and the people in the car next to her were clapping as she got out! 🙂 I’m more of an obscure jazz guy, but I detail my musical oddities on my blog on Fridays! 😀
Haha well that picture WAS actually the only picture I took yesterday the others were taken previously the day before! So technically it was correct!
I really like it! My husband is not the biggest fan but he puts up with it because of me 🙂
Ah – makes sense, whew, I fend off confusion for now! 🙂
Music in our house is an experience – four music lovers with disparate tastes (wife – pop, younger son – electronica, older son – rap, me … whatever that noise is called 😉 ) makes for fun listening!
And part of every relationship is sharing … even things that aren’t our particular preference!
I love seeing what others have on their playlists, it gives me ideas to add to my own. My playlists are rather eclectic with top 40 (Pink, Katie Perry, Lorde) mixed in with some classics (Rolling Stones, U2, Elton John) and for what I like to call Run Angry I have Eminem. I usually blog about music on the weekends with my posts Sunday is for Singing Out Loud.
I love some Eminem when I need a pick me up to go faster! Great music selection there – a little bit of everything!
Found you on pinterest. Love this, thanks for the run list facelift! I, too, like a bit of everything but need to spice it up from time to time. Found a great band called LoveSeedMamaJump – try Country Roads. you can’t run slow to that! Picking from the kiddos – the soundtracks to Freaky Friday and Lemonade Mouth both have some great running tunes. Harder to Breathe by Maroon 5 at least makes me laugh mid-run. And the newest add is A Little More Us by Stereo Skyline. Ooh, and cotton eye joe cover by Starsound
So true Anita – there is a thread at a website dedicated to computer role-playing games that is simply ‘Now Playing’. A bunch of folks will post things they are listening to … and very often if what one person listens to reminds of of something we will react – it is a great way (especially since the site is populated by more folks from Europe than the US) to get introduced to new music or stuff you’ve forgotten. It has also been fun for new stuff for my kids 🙂
Great song picks! I have really been digging Florida Georgia Line songs during my workouts!
Thanks Casey! I love FGL!!
Thanks for posting this, I needed some new songs for my long runs! I listen to all different stuff when I run, but lately I have been downloading a lot of country songs. (I already had Sunny and 75 and Counting Stars). I also like the song “:Let her go” by Passenger, but Its a slower song (not really good for tough workouts). I’ve had “Roar”: by Katy Perry on my playlist for a while and that always gets me pumped up!
All such great songs! Especially Stay and Sunny & 75, I am all about country music! It is my favorite to workout to!
Love those songs! I love all country music too! I will always be a southern girl at heart 🙂
I love all those songs! I’m glad you’re on the way to recovery!:)
Thank you Nicole!! 🙂
