Easy 6

Last night I ran an easy 6. I love how that's literally what's written in my training schedule, "easy 6" and I would love to think that 6 miles is now easy for me. But it's not. It still takes determination to do 6 instead of stopping after 2 or 3. Anyway I took off again pretty much when Jeff walked in. My goal for the run was to just enjoy the run. I tried to make myself go slower for the first half concentrating on just feeling good running. I've been buying new music as I'm getting ready to compile a huge playlist for the marathon. I bought a lot of themes from movies that I love like Pirates of the Caribbean, Hoosiers, Indiana Jones, Hook, and even Angels in the Outfield. But the one album that has proved to be the best song to get me going is the Rudy soundtrack. There are like 5 or 6 great songs that make me run faster and push harder without even realizing it. So I allowed myself to get pumped up and push it a little more on the way home. I finished the 6 miles in 49 minutes.
