Turkey Day

Are we going to have fun and plan something over the Thanksgiving holiday? Thursday, Friday, Sunday? Tell me more about the Turkey Trot run. We can go any distance if we pick a route. Can't eat all that good stuff and not run!

Congrats on the chicken run...

Connie, Cassie, and Sandra!!! Way to GO!!!!

Half Marathons in Georgia

http://www.halfmarathons.net/usa_half_marathons_georgia.html



Run The Reagan Half Marathon - Snellville, GA





XTERRA Thrill in the Hills Trail Race - Fort Yargo State Park, GA


These are a couple that I am considering, but check out the site listed above.

So, I had to run on my own this week...

And the only way I can get through it, it to take along my iPod. So, I just thought I'd share my "Run 4 Fun" playlist as it currently stands:

#1 Mr. Brightside - the killers (gets me revved up)

#2 I hope you Dance - Lee Ann Womack (makes me slow down my too fast from the start pace)

#3 Hot in Herre - Nelly (makes me laugh and has a good beat)

#4 Born to Hand Jive (the perfect upbeat to get you through the 1st mile and into the 2nd)

#5 I wasn't born to follow - Social Distortion (great rockin' beat with a punk non-conformist message - gets me pumped up)

#6 Somebody Told Me - the killers (good constant beat - plus reminds me of a guy my sister dated once that could've been mistaken for a girl)

#7 She's a knockout - social distortion (another good beat)

#8 Battleflag (Lo-Fidelity Allstars Remix) - Pigoeonhed (I like the beat - I use this song to remind me to focus on my breathing)

#9 Ridin' Chamillionaire & Krayzie Bone - (it's funny)

#10 Closer to Free - BoDeans (no reason)

#11 Honky Tonk Badonkadonk - Trace Atkins (why not??!!)

#12 Stagger Lee The Fabulous Thunderbirds ( If you haven't seen the movie Shag - then watch it - I love the end when they are shaggin' to this song - plus it gets me pumped up to finish big)

#13 Demolition Rickshaw! - the Aquabats -(great fired up beat - helps with a big finish)

#14 Mouth - Bush (slower for winding down and walking through a cool down)

So that's it - Wait - I listen to a repeat custom edit clip of Queen's "We are the Champions" when I do the Magic Mile.

Alright - whenever everyone signs in, up, or whatever...let's hear what you like to run to...
BTW: this playlist equals about 1 hour

Ok - I finally did it
