My friend Melissa posted her race playlist for tomorrow’s (Sunday, 4/18) 4 mile Run for the Parks and I decided to post mine too! What a fun idea. You can all know exactly what’s powering me through tomorrow morning at 8 am. Â I plan to PR and beat my fastest 4 mile race time of 40:00. I have run a faster 5K before, but tomorrow is just about beating my 4 mile time.
I put together a nice little playlist of songs that make me want to RUN FAST:
I always start my races with a slower song so I pace myself in the beginning.
The playlist is 40:18, which I think is the perfect length for my goal. I’m really loving the songs and I am very excited about this race! I will be running it with my friend, also named Melissa, and she is a bit faster than me. We hope to push each other through.
Back this week with a recap!

April 23, 2010 at 10:20 pm (14 years ago)so I have this really cool hand motion I do to go along with the chorus of “Paper Planes” and let me just say it garners me some weird looks while I run. let’s just say it involves making a gun with my hand and some other really fun moves.
