2/25 - Mission Fitness
I'm starting to get back in the swing of things. Improved my time by a minute over a couple days ago, doing an 11 minute mile. I probably could have continued, but I don't want to hurt myself.
Well.. actually... it's because I'm lazy. There was someone else down there, so I couldn't have my headphones on as loud as usual, thus making the experience not nearly as enjoyable.
A note to self - Go the Distance from Hercules, though an epicly awesome song, isn't all that great for running to (despite my preconceived notion that it is).
MUSIC:
Hercules OST - Go the Distance
Alter Bridge - Burn it Down
Guns N Roses - Civil War

2/23 - Mission Fitness
I'm going to pretend that no one pays attention to the dates...
Anyways, this was my first run in quite a while. I got a cold that kept me down, got busy, and just generally procrastinated like a boss. I went ahead and did an easy 12 minute mile, speeding up the last minute to get it to about 11:40.
I do enjoy running, particularly the undivided attention to music that I get. I turn my headphones up way too loud, blow my ears out, and it's GREAT. Today, I listened to Higher and Higher (you know, the Ghostbusters song). I was half tempted to replay it - that song made me smile. I then chuckled, realizing that I was smiling whilst running.
MUSIC:
Ghostbusters OST - Higher and Higher
Flatt & Scruggs - Foggy Mountain Breakdown
Incubus - Warning
Stone Temple Pilots - Big Empty

2/7/12 - Mission Fitness
Shhhh... you didn't notice the difference in dates between this blog and the last. Nope, sure didn't.
So, the treadmill was taken today on my visit to the Fitness Center. I meandered over to the stationary bike instead. I used to bike all the time, but then I moved to a place without optimal biking roads. Of course, I could just bike to the optimal biking roads if desired, but that would just make too much sense.
Biking on a stationary bike is interesting. It's like, "Hey, I'm laying down, this is like relaxing cake." Then 10 minutes later, "Hey, I'm laying down, this is like BERNING FIRE DEATH." Program 6 is definitely not my friend. I still have some crazy leg burning.
But, the burning just means it's working.
~12 minutes biking, 3.5 miles. Not too bad, considering the artificial hills.
MUSIC:
10 Years - Fix Me
Rent Soundtrack (Movie) - Rent
Van Halen - Dreams
WHAM! - Wake Me Up Before You Go Go!
