...by Elton John was my favorite song that popped up on shuffle on my iPod today. Listened to it 3 times in a row. Loved it.
"You Can't Hurry Love" by the Supremes was a close second place. :)
And the rest of my songs on my playlist are nothing like either of those (they are mostly fast pop songs), but it's fun to mix it up! If you know me well, you know my iPod has the most random songs ever. So more insight of that to come.
I ran on the treadmill today - 3.2 MILES!!! I'm so excited :) And it wasn't bad until the last interval or so! YAY PROGRESS!
PS- Watching some of the World Cup games this afternoon while running made me feel like I was doing nothing in comparison to their running up and down that humongous field for 2 hours! Made it feel like a breeze.
PPS- I made my chocolate milk ahead of time, stuck it in the freezer while I worked out, and came back to get it. Delicious! It was like chocolate snow cream. Definitely doing this from here on out!

Support
The night after I signed up for the race, I couldn't fall asleep because I kept thinking on the idea of "What the heck have I gotten myself into?!" This is so far from anything I've ever done before. The first few friends I told that I was doing this, I prefaced them with: "Are you ready to hear the craziest thing ever?" Because, yep, that's about what this undertaking is!
I talked with both of my parents, and they were both excited and very encouraging about the whole thing! My younger brother (who was a cross country runner) also got really excited when I told him. So I know I will have their full support! And knowing me, I'm going to need all the encouragement and accountability I can get!
Dee suggested I go online to active.com and fitnessmagazine.com to sign up for their daily emails. I've gotten some helpful information so far, and it's only been a couple days! It also helps remind me that I'm not alone in doing this. Dee majored in exercise sports science in college, and then went on to get her master's in exercise and health science... so needless to say, she knows what she's talking about when it comes to this kind of stuff! I asked her what is good to eat/drink after you finish working out. Her response? low fat chocolate milk! Are you kidding me?! I LOVE chocolate milk! It reminds me of being a kid. So if anything, while I'm out running, I can just think about that nice cold glass of chocolate milk that is waiting for me when I get home :)
