Playlist for the Half

My go-to genre at any time of the day is EDM.

Driving to work? EDM
Driving home from work? EDM
Cooking dinner? EDM
Showering? EDM
Cleaning the house? EDM
Running? EDM
Writing this blog post? EDM

I try to branch out a little, but EDM just gets me and helps keep me going. For race day, I wanted to make sure I didn't have to keep flipping through songs. I picked some EDM for sure, some rap/pop, and some harder rock.


Highlighting songs of my playlist:

Hook, Line, & Sinner by Texas in July: this song goes back to my middle school/ high school screamo band obsession days. This song has really good drops in it that I would jump in the mosh pit to. It definitely will pump me to pick up the pace on Sunday.

Obsessed by Joel Fletcher Bianca: the chorus is the most upbeat fist-pumping song I think I have on here. I jam the hell out to it in the car so much that my boyfriend is laughing at me from his truck behind.

Monster by Skillet: this has a continuous fast beat, can sing it, has some hard edge to it, and the 'demonic' voice in the one bridge is spine-chilling (somehow makes me go faster)



Below is the URL link to my playlist I have for the PGH Half. It has more than EDM in it - but all are just some good beats that really pump me up and will keep me going through the 13.1.

Let me know what some of your favorite songs are when you're running!

HOF Marathon Training: 1 of 16

IT'S TIME! Hall of Fame Marathon Training is here! Hey guys! I'm so excited to be on a training schedule again. I want my redemption at HOF for Erie. If you followed me last summer, I trained for Erie up until 4 weeks out, only to result in an overuse injury. This is my time. I've rested, cross trained, and learned so much to better prepare myself for this training cycle.  This winter/spring race season has a couple races that I wont be racing for time, rather just to enjoy the energy and use them as test runs going towards marathon day. Some of these are the ever-favorites like Spring Thaw and Just A Short Run that are unique to the Pittsburgh area. These two races alone have brought me to meet many others in the running community that I am happy to call my friends.  Everything I will be doing now is aimed for April 29th LETS DO THIS So this week has been kinda crazy... as if my life isn't ever not-crazy. With marathon training and starting...

Monday Motivation: Good Week

But really, isn't every week? Life is what you make it despite the ups and downs we face. Leave whatever struggles and hardships this past week brought you. It's last week, we have to look ahead of us. Ever try looking backwards while running? You're not as focused on going forward. And isn't that why you're running in the first place? So make this week a good week that you can reflect on and be proud of. Welcome the challenges. Crush those goals. Be mindful. Enjoy the little moments. And damnit, smile all the way through.  Have a good week!

Monday Motivation: Positive Pants and Get Stuff Done

My Positive Pants: comfortable clothes (that match hah), a good makeup look, and some EDM. If you see me around with said look, I'm probably on a mission. What do your positive pants look like? --- Get stuff done. What do you consider stuff? For me, it's prepping food and my school stuff for the coming week, catching up on sleep, doing some yoga and stretching, and just putting myself in a positive mindset so I can crush the coming week. It's not always easy, and I'm not going to sit here and say that I do it all the time either. Hence why I started this Monday Motivation weekly post - so I can get in the mindset that I can and will accomplish Monday. Not everyone has the same stuff, but I can almost guarantee that we all have a list of things we need or want to do, but put off time and time again. So this Monday, look at your list. Do you have 5 extra minutes to make that doctors appointment or can do a load of laundry while cooking dinner? If s...
