I just officially registered for the "Dam-to-Dam" 20K Roadrace to be held June 3, 2006 at 7 am. I'm pumped to be doing it again for the 3rd time in 4 years. You all know one of my goals for this mini challenge is to finish this run in 2hours or less. Now, my training hasn't been going the greatest, but I think I still have the potential to finish in this time frame. But, I need your help. How can you help me you might ask?? Simple. I would like 5 songs from each of you that keeps you motivated throughout your cardio. These should be, of course, upbeat so that I can keep tempo but doesn't have to be "Speedy Gonzalez" music. As they come on my mp3 player, I will be able to think about each of you and I believe that will motivate me through the 12.4 miles to the finish line. Each one of you has been inspirational for me over the last 4 months and would like to think of you as I run. Sounds sappy doesn't it?? LOL Maybe so, but motivational to me. Please give title and artist.
Update on my parents: just completing day 5 of the program and doing well. Both are very motivated. My dad is sick with an ear infection but is still doing everything as scheduled. Talk about determination. I just hope they can keep it up after I go home. I've shown them fitday.com and my mom knows how to add foods into it. She seems pretty gung-ho to keep going. I speak to them daily when I'm at home, so I will do my best to keep them motivated.
