Another treadmill running day – almost afraid to comment on just how good I’m feeling AND running. I do shorter runs during the week, but regardless, I ran my last mile at 9.20 mph – woot! Well let me just stop while I’m ahead. . .no more comments (for now) on strong running. And speaking of strong running, know what else makes it happen?

A strong music playlist.

Unfortunately, my playlist is a tired playlist. I’m terrible about keeping my music up-to-date, which is such a shame, because you should NEVER underestimate the power of music. Research actually supports how music can have a positive impact on a workout, and I experience it every day; even with my tired playlist.

iTunes, here I come.
