Rain, rain go away, come back on any day but Tuesday or Wednesday! Props to all of you that were out this morning for your run when Mother Nature decided that you needed another shower! For most of you, running in funky weather is probably not your idea of fun so I thank you for having smiling faces the whole time! It definitely lightened the mood and it brought out the sun (which is now conveniently shining!).


Some hints for your run this week: Remember to keep your pace! Just because you are in a group, doesn't mean everyone will have the same pace. 2 stopwatches have been given to each group in case one half of the group has a bit of a faster pace. Don't feel that you need to keep up with them, rather find a few friends that have a similar speed/pace to you. The idea with the pace is to be able to last for the duration of the run, and then use the 1 minute walk time to give your heart rate and breathing a short break before going back to the run.


We talked about motivation today in class, and something that motivates me is music. I can't imagine running without music- it is something that takes my mind off of what I am doing and makes the time pass a little bit faster. 


For this week's blog comment, post your top 5 songs that you run to (name of song and artist)!


Happy wogging/jogging/running/walking/crawling!

  5. I completely agree, I find music a great way to motivate anyone to participate in an physical activity. Its a great way to incorporate fun and individual twists. My "top 5" change constantly, currently my top five looks like:

    Walking on Sunshine- Katrina and the Waves
    Hello- Marin Solveig & Dragonette
    Set fire to the rain- Adele
    Black Betty- Spiderbait
    Our time now- Plain White T's

  6. My top 5 are quite unusual:
    1) Kuroki Neko by Iwasaki Taku
    2) Omoide wa Tooku no Hibi by Tenmon
    3) Red Zone by Iwasaki Taku
    4) Number One by Hazel Fernandes
    5) Naraku no Hana by Eiko Shimamiya

    My list is all from Japanese animation because each song has such an engaging rhythm and most of them are derived from a battle scene. To me, running is an inner battle where you continually fight the part of you that wants to give. In that context, my music fits it perfectly.

  11. I found that music is the best way to stay focus on the run but without thinking about it. Also, the fact that I don't hear myself breath helps me focus on my music and not my breathing. My top 5 of songs is:

    I'm on a boat - The lonely Island ft T-Pain
    King of the Dancehall - Beenie Man
