Doneskies. I actually really enjoyed my run this morning, and I like running for longer periods. I also have a bad ass running playlist, which I got from lululemon. It goes something like this:

warm up

The Temper Trap – Resurrection

workout

Arcade Fire – Ready to Start
Yeasayer – O.N.E.
CEO – White Magic
Sleigh Bells – Tell ‘Em
Kanye West – Power
LCD Soundsystem – I Can Change
Robyn – Dancing On My Own
Mark Ronson – You Gave Me Nothing
Drake – Unforgettable ft. Young Jeezy

cardio wrap up

CEO – Come With Me
Bag Raiders – Sunlight
Deadmau5 – Animal Rights
Florence + the Machine – Dog Days Are Over

stretch

Yeasayer – Madder Red
Mumford & Sons – Awake my Soul
Jonsi – Around Us

The whole thing takes about 1.5 hours, which is way longer than my run. So I normally listen to the warm up track, then put my ipod on shuffle until its time to stretch, and skip to the last three songs. But its great for when I work out at the gym :)

I don’t do it for the gap between my thighs.

I do it for the gap between me and the guy behind me on the racecourse.

I don’t do it for the hip bones.

I do it for healthy bones that will carry me through the rest of my life.

I don’t do it for the flat stomach.

I do…
