And Now… Tunesday, LIVE!

There’s something to be said for live music during a training session. The raw sounds of the voice, and the minimal post-production/technology really adds something.

Plus, I always pretend the background applause is for me. (Because I am dominating another training session).

For this weeks choice, I decided on the live version, simply because of the applause. And it’s a good song.

Maroon 5: “Daylight”<-- YouTube link I like the song, and ladies, I know you like Adam Levine.... Enjoy, and just keep running!

I Don’t “Find” Time To Run…

As we get ready to roll out our February box, we are reminded to make time for the things we feel are important.

This means family, friends, and yes, running. A daily run keeps us sane, balanced, and happy. And although daily schedules may not allow time for a run, it’s up to us individually to tell our schedules that running is important, and it will happen.

Have a great week, and… just keep running!

Classical Tunesday… Hold The Lyrics.

There comes a time during a run where you need something upbeat, but without all those filthy, dirty lyrics that all the kids are loving these days.

Well, for those that like a nice instrumental violin background to your run, this Tunesday is for you. Take one part violin, one part BPM, and add some popular dance music, and what do you have?

Elements- Dubstep Violin Original- Lindsey Stirling <--Link to YouTube Lindsey likes to rock a violin, make sure you check out her other music as well... HAPPY TUNESDAY!

If I’m Free, It’s Because…

Jimi Hendrix was more than just a great guitar player, he was a great motivator.

Now I have a hard time envisioning Hendrix strapping on the runners, and heading out for a half-marathon, this quote seems to sum up one of the best parts of running.

Even though he may be talking about a different type of running, he still knew that running keeps you sane, happy, and free.

If I’m Free, It’s Because, I’m Always Running… – Jimi Hendrix.
