So today I ran 12kms after the previous weekends HORRIBLE run, it was fantastic! Although the minute my garmin said 12kms it was shut off and I walked the rest of the way to Starbucks (yes, I get a latte on Sundays after my run!) I was only supposed to run 9kms today but I wanted to see if I could run 12kms instead. Hopefully I won't pay for it tomorrow!
MUSIC! So, there are a few tunes I listen to when I need to keep going. The first one is Don't Let Me Be Misundersood by Santa Esmaralda. This song makes me run faster! I used it when I was running my last km in my first 10km race in years.
Another song I like that keeps me going in the middle (and maybe I sing out loud a little) is Ordinary Day by Great Big Sea. Actually, just about anything by them like maybe The Night Paddy Murphy Died also makes me sing VERY LOUDLY out loud while running! Yup, I love my Great Big Sea! They also have a great beat to run to with their faster songs, but its better to listen to them halfway or towards the end of your run, the music will make you run a bit faster and you don't want to burn out at the start!
One last song that I use to get me through when I'm really struggling is, yup, you guess it, Rolling in the Deep by Adele. I don't know why but this song just helps me through harder runs. I also used it a few times last year while doing the Grouse Grind.
