Run Baldwin, Run!

Woooohooooo.......I am buzzing! And I can't tell you yet at the moment why as I am preparing my personal challenge on another blog at the moment but I can't help wanting to write here that I did my run today - despite keep looking at the window seeing passers by that brave themselves running in this chilly condition this morning. Managed to do 5.1km without feeling tired but it seems like my lung (I'm born asthmatic) couldn't cope with it (should have brought the puffer with me!) Still, I am pleased. I didn't run at the beach today as I want to try how far I can run on the pavement today after been running on a soft base at the beach for 2 weeks. I am amazed my strides are better and I actually find my tip toe running are now looking rather more athletic! Ha..ha.. I am sooooo pleased.

Here are some of the songs that I listen to when I ran just now.

1. Stronger (Kanye West)
2. Breathe (Sean Paul ft. Blue Cantrell)
3. Round, Round (Sungarbabes)
4. Simple The Best (Tina Turner) - such motivation song!!!!
5. Look At Me (Geri Halliwell) - don't ask! Vain maybe?
6. Outside (George Michael)

Bring it on!!!!

I'm feeling really good after battling yet again with my demon for not wanting to run today (I can understand after I had a 25k bike ride this morning after not biking for a week) but I'm pleased I did it. It was tough going as I came back from bike ride at 10am, decided to clean all the window in my house upstairs and sing on the top of my lung (because cleaning is boring and singing is enjoying - remember my past theory 'try to incorporate what you like into what you hate?) and by 12.30pm I managed to hang a load of washing and fold couple of basket of washing, had my lunch, coffee break and catch up with the news on tele. By 1pm I am eyeing the clock all the time while telling myself 'I gotta go for a run soon and my cut off time is 1.30pm or else I will never run! That's how bad my mind is playing up and how the demon conquering my weakness!

I am glad, after changing my running tops few times (didn't like the colour coordination of my top and my socks) I drove the car to the beach and park as far as I can from the beach so I can add more mileage to my run. I am also excited with the facts that before I ran the same distance (and I had a bike ride this morning) with just under 10 songs! I normally did 12 songs on my iPod.

Here are the list of the songs that 'accompany' me with my run just now....

1. Kelly Clarkson (My Life Would Sucks Without You)
2. Taylor Swift (Love Story)
3. TLC (Creep)
4. All Saints (I Know Where Its At)
5. Girls Aloud (Jump) - this really keep me going!!!
6. Rihanna (Don't Stop The Music)
7. Christina Aguilera (Ain't Another Man)
8. Lady Gaga (Poker Face)
9. Pussycat Dolls (Jai Ho) - ha..ha..ha..
10. Pink (So What)
