I need GOOD running music!

June 10th, 2009 at 8:42 am by under Rachel's Good Day

3 days to the Bellin! Time to get organized. What will you wear? Figure it out now and go for a run in it. You don’t want your pants to fall down. You don’t want the tag in your shirt to rub your skin raw. Even your sports bra can cause some serious issues. Seriously, weird things will happen if you haven’t already gone for a run in the clothes you plan to wear for what could be a very sweaty 6 point 2 miles.

And if you are going to listen to music — practice that, too. Don’t borrow a person’s ipod the night before and expect everything to go smoothly. Get it now. Program it. And go for a run. Practice your music listening plan. I spent the first 5 minutes of my first Bellin run trying to get my music started. Ended up the batteries were dead. Had to run with this bulky CD player the whole way with no music.

Good thing there were a lot of spectators playing music. Horns were blaring. Drums were banging. Fiddlers were fiddling.

But I need my music. My FOOTLOOSE. My CLARKSON. My BLACK EYED PEAS.

What do you listen to??

See you at the start!
