Learning Lessons / 7.32

Well, I listened to music again today.  And my pace is better.  A lot.  Not as in a minute better per mile.  Because it will take time to get back to that physically.  But in the 15-30 second/mile range.  Which, as you know, is a big deal.  Now that I think about it, it's more like 30 seconds.  So.

Decision: I have to switch it up.  Because listening to books really kept me motivated.  But it did lose some of it's magic after a time.  Which makes sense.  Over time, it loses that newness factor.  So I'll just really pay attention and switch between music and books. 

I wish there was a metronome watch.  You  know, just something that would deliver a little tap to the wrist at 180 beats/sec. 

But I did have a fun time today.  Beautiful day here, in direct contrast to your weather!

Have you watched the movie Pitch Perfect?  If not, let me forewarn you, it's a musical!  I still laugh about when we watched that Tom Cruise movie and you said to me, "You didn't tell me it was a musical!"  And I didn't, that's true!  Anyway, it's a super cute movie and I have the album for it.  And here is the closing number, which I love:

Well, forget it!  Stupid Universal won't share!  Geesh!

Here's a terrible pirated version, but you can see it's super fun! And fun for running:

I'll take a look after this.

No run for me this morning. I'm afraid I'm coming down with a head cold. Have had a bad sore throat since Thursday night. That's how Angie's latest bought started so I'm blaming her. I ran yesterday but I didn't sleep well at all last night so just forgetting it today. Getting the old cars out of storage this morning and didn't get out of bed until 7:30 so pressed for time, too. Hope I don't get the full blown deal like Angie had.

I think we always need to be switching things up to keep motivated, etc. I just bought a new Rhonda Vincent CD and was going to listen to that this morning. So now it will wait until Monday.

Well, I liked the beat but, of course, I couldn't understand a word they were singing. and, when watching some of their actions, I'm not sure I want to!
I've been watching Prime Suspect on Netflix this week and I like it very much but they are so long! Each episode is two parts and each part is 100 minutes long so takes two whole evenings.

Ha, may not! I loved that movie. It was hilarious. And that video is indicative of the entire movie!

Yeah, Midsomer is 90 minutes, I believe, and it gets long. I have a youtube attention span. 2 minutes and I'm done if I'm not interested!

Hope you're feeling better. Sure am sorry you're not feeling well. I blame Angie too! Hopefully it is just a cold and not her whooping cough!
