Today, I tried out running on the new trail that I found biking behind my apartments the other day! It was very cool because instead of doing a loop like I would do around the park, it was a straight path. I think this may have helped my time because I didn’t have a set endpoint and could just run, rather than worry about reaching certain checkpoints like I do at the park.

Workout song of the day: “Born To Run” by Bruce Springsteen
I still love running to this song!
Any thoughts? Leave your comment below!
This song makes you fast!!!
In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected,and steppin’ out over the line…
It is quite a great song!
Wonderful song! Personally I work out on Springsteen videos and enjoy every moment of it. I do a combination of aerobics, cycling and stretching in the comfort and privacy of my own home and is at 55 fitter than ever before. (Although definetely not fit for a marathon! :))
Thanks! They are so much fun to workout to! Don’t worry, I’m not even close to a marathon either!
Great job. I need to keep a lookout for you. Pretty soon you are going to catch and pass my weight unless I can get my focus back. 😛
Keep up the great work.

Hehe see it as a challenge 😉

Now I believe in the love that you gave me.
I believe in the faith that could save me.
I believe in the hope and I pray that some day it
Will raise me above these
Badlands…
Great lyrics
