Always gets me in a good mood, perfect for the first step of a cold morning run.

that’s a GREAT 5K race, especially considering you went in without any expectations. Those are always the *best* races for me.

I am a big advocate of the “chilled out” approach – does wonders for running sometimes, and usually helps you really appreciate the workout. ‘

And, lastly, new song suggestions, whoop! I always trust your music taste!

I’m also enjoying some downtime after the race (not spending the week wondering when/where I’m going to run 20 miles is nice). I’m enjoying your blog and just wanted to say hi!

Great race Saturday :) I would kill for a 7:34 mm, lol… I’m definitely checking out the tunes you listed. Did my playlist crack you up with Britney and Salt n Pepa? I don’t think I’d listen to them in the car, but they get me moving on the road :)

The wine sounds divine!

The paces will still be there, but the mental work of always being “on” takes its toll. I’m glad you had some downtime this week; more to come, I’m sure.
