Motivation

What motivates you? Sometimes it's a friendly challenge. Not that anybody could ever accuse me of smack-talkin' my teammates, but Darren Olsen there's no way, no WAY you can beat me on the swim contest. Better luck tomorrow catching up, dude. I put in 3100 yards today of quality... and I mean QUALITY strokes. My face was read for at least two hours afterward. See you at the spin tonight. That'll be me in the front row. As in, just ahead of you. ;-)

Sometimes we are motivated by music. Below is my latest Running Music Playlist. It is about an hour long. Feel free to download all or part of it - but if you load up the whole list, I promise these tunes will have you rocking your cadence and posting splits that are spot on. Plus, I personally guarantee that you will feel like a million bucks afterward. 

Enjoy.

2 - Something Beautiful -- Newsboys
3 -  In Wonder -- Newsboys

6 - Give you Glory -- Jeremy Camp
7 - Made to Love -- tobyMac
8 - I'm for You -- tobyMac

It isn't a good running song, but I recently heard the new one by (cough) Miley Cyrus (cough cough) called The Climb. Very motivational if you are feeling a sense of "why do I even do this??" (I'm not a Miley fan, but do enjoy this song.)
