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...

PGH 5K Race Recap

Thanks to my wonderful boyfriend for all the photos! This was the first 5K I've done since Fall of 2012. Not that I've avoided 5Ks, but just always put the focus on adding mileage and not really speed training. Last week I received an email that they extended the sign-up for the UPMC Health Plan 5K, and decided to just go with it. To be quite frank, I only did it because I saw that doing the 5K and either the Half or Full Marathon meant you were participating in the Steel Challenge. I saw "challenge" and couldn't pass that up. Competitive much? Medals just steel-ing the spotlight However, I wasn't feeling completely confident in myself about this run. I told myself I should take it as a shakeout run before the Half. Well, after a speedy 3 miles the other day, I found the courage to make this a race worth racing for. IG post after completing 3 miles in 22:04 (there were some stops along the way) I had tremendous support...

Starting a blog?! But I'm not a writer...

I'm not great with words. There, I said it. Put me in a college Calculus class or in Biology, I'll do just fine. Put me in an 11th grade English and Writing class... yeah I'll hyperventilate... a lot. However!!! I have a lot to say, and a lot to say about my running journey at that. I'm a full year into falling in love with running all over again, and I felt it was time to just tighten my shoelaces and start writing. I have met so many people from the running community through my Instagram @runningawayfromadulting, and viewing their blogs only brought me closer to desiring to start my own. There's also a character limit on IG, sooooooo... To those who are reading this, I am NOT AN EXPERT and will never claim to be. Blogging for me is a space to vent to whomever wants to listen, to encourage others as they continue their own fitness journeys, to share my triumphs and failures, and so much more. This space will not tolerate negativity, condescending attitudes, or ...
