  here is a link for some of the album I listen to when doing long runs. If you look back at my running blog and I ran 8 or more miles, I most likely ran listening to this album. It has the best beats. I recommend listening to the whole thing to get the full effect.

Today I ran 6:50 on the tread. Did some speed intervals from minutes 30-47. Then I worked on the elipitcal for 30 minutes. Then it was out of there. Oh wait, did abs too. Shower is calling now

oh I have to mention this. Yesterday a dude in my church ward put on facebook that he is running the red rock relay and he needed 6 more people. So I put a comment below that said: "you know I can run, and fast."  Well this morning he declined me and the other girl who offered to help his team. He said he knew we would put him to shame and due to not wanting a shattered ego, he had to decline our offers. Well you know what? Screw you! Have fun with your all dude team and good luck getting the fat man on your team to take 3 legs and do it in a decent time. I noticed lately that a lot of men have ego problems if I run next to them at the gym doing 9.3 in my tm. I passed a man on the river trail the other day and when I did so, I could hear him trying to speed up. Just take reality for what it is!!! This is stupid! Oh and I can't get ANYBODY besides Lynsey to run outside with me. Everyone is afraid I'm going to force them to run to fast. Truth is, I don't always run super duper fast, I just want to run outside at a decent speed (below and 8 min mile). I didn't know that was so hard, sheesh.

Nice workout. I hope you are getting some of your energy back. Hey, I liked the tunes, and now I have that song in my head :) (manly smile)

Some people can be real jerks and take themselves waaaay too seriously. Unless you're an olympic elite- get over yourself already. I'm sure you would rock over most of the 'guys' he puts on his team. I hope they lose BAD.

"I would have never pegged you for mechanical . . . . I prefer women working on my car."

I have no running pride. I don't care if women run faster than me (I expect it actually). I don't ever care who I run with - women or men. I just like company. Everyone is invited to my party.

I hope they lose too. Thanks for making me feel better you two. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but it has been to me. It ruined my morning.

Who doesn't want to run or hike or climb with company? Why does it matter if someone is faster than another or most? Duh.

Seriously, I totally agree. I cannot stand people who get caught up in stereotypes. Not to call anyone out in on this blog, but even people who talk about getting 'chicked'. I don't get it. Running, of all sports, has the least amount of delineation between genders. This last saturday I watched more women that I can count blow by me and I never gave it a second thought. The only thing that came to mind was "wow, they are fast".

Maybe he was using that as an excuse cuz his wife, or some other participant's wife didn't want any women on the team. Either way, find out if he's running any other races before then, and kick his trash.

Tynelle I have the CD (disc 1 and 2) how about I burn you copies and mail them? Private message me your address k? :)

From jun on Wed, May 19, 2010 at 16:43:43 from 205.158.160.209

Are you taking orders? I'll even come and pick mine up!!!!

From Lily on Wed, May 19, 2010 at 16:52:18 from 67.199.181.73

I can totally burn you one as well Jun. You'll love it! It totally carries you through longer runs with it's beats. The songs change throughout the album.

From jun on Wed, May 19, 2010 at 16:56:40 from 205.158.160.209

I've been listening to them on youtube since I first read your post . . . so like, all day. I'd be psyched to run to this.

From Lily on Wed, May 19, 2010 at 16:59:42 from 67.199.181.73

private message me your address Jun and I'll mail them to you. Don't be scared, I am a harmless runnin' housewife and mama. :) I'll throw in a burn of Paul Oakenfold. He is freaking sweet as well. Great beats and tunes!

Nobody's scared of you Lily.
