Christmas break consisted of nothing but running, riding to the grocery store on my beach cruiser, reading trashy magazines on the beach, drinking more margaritas than I care to admit, and eating an entire Gulf of Mexico worth of seafood. It was 3 weeks of sunshine bliss in southern Florida but now it's back to Utah - with a huge slap in the face from the frigid -15 degree wind.
I spent the first 3 days shivering uncontrollably and coughing from something Utahns call "inversion".
The first thing I did was hit the slopes skiing with a Snowbasin ski pass and new ski boots. Turns out this Missouri girl sucks at powder skiing....who knew!? My ski trip to Co when I was 10 didn't give me quite the base I need for serious skiing, so I fly down the half the slope with reckless abandon until I make an ass of myself by tumbling the other half. Whatever...with my new ski coat and boots I look damn good doing it. And with my endurance sport background I can fall down the slopes for hours on end - much to the dismay of my limbs, which are covered in bruises.
Anyway. I try to post my favorite running playlists that keep me going through the high of 10 degree days that I insist (well...more Henry insists) we run through.
Here it is folks - try not to get too inspired and do something crazy like run an ultra.
1. One Foot - Fun
2. Shake it Out - Florence and the Machine
3. Pumped up Kicks - Foster the People
4. Waving Flag - K'Naan
5. Sexy and I know it - LMFAO (How could I have a running playlist and not put this on it?)
6. Electric Feel - MGMT
7. Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites - Skrillex
8. Feel So Close - Calvin Harris
9. Don't You Worry Child - Swedish House Mafia
10. Clique - Kanye West
11. Black to White - Felix Cartal
12. No Sleep - Wix Khalifa
I really like sprinting during the fast/loud/more intense parts and taking it easy during the slower/quieter parts...I think more technical people call this "interval training"
