Is it just me, or did this week go by really, really fast? The hours drag on each day, but then I still find myself thinking that it should be Wednesday right now.
Just me? Okay, then.
Couch-to-5k tells me that there's a 25-minute run on my agenda today. While I'm a little nervous about it, I think the weather is going to cooperate, at least. The other day, it was nearly 75 degrees at this time of the morning, today it's 59. The humidity's higher (60%), but it doesn't feel it. The wind's a little outrageous, though--gusting at 16 mph, according to the weather gnome that lives in my system tray. (Or Desktop Weather, as it likes to call itself.) Anyway, I'm hoping the wind will die down by 11 or so, though I can't get DW to make any promises. I'm going outside either way, but it would be nice if I didn't feel like I'm going to be blown to Oz while I'm out there.
I'm very excited about today's playlist...not because the songs are works of earth-shattering awesomeness (except for Salt-n-Pepa, of course), but because the running portion comes out to EXACTLY 25 minutes. I mean, to the second. Check it out:
Wear Sunscreen - Baz Luhrmann (5:11, warm-up...just in case I forget)
Lose Yourself - Eminem (5:20, run)
Shake Ya Tailfeather - Murphy Lee, et. al. (4:53, run)
Push It - Salt-n-Pepa (4:32, run)
Heaven - DJ Sammy & Yanou (3:55, run)
Get the Party Started - Pink (3:11, run)
Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson (3:09, run)
Damn, Feels Good to be a Gangster - Ghetto Boyz (5:09, cool-down)
From Eminem to Kelly Clarkson, it's exactly 25 minutes. This tickles me.
Just as a side note, I try to order the songs by diminishing length for the running parts, because it keeps my going. If I feel like I'm losing steam, I can say to myself..."come on, just make it through this song, all the rest are shorter..." It sounds a little hokey, but it works for me.
MP3s will be are up later for everything but "Wear Sunscreen" and "Damn...Gangster", since I've posted both of those at least twice already.
UPDATE: Also the Pink song, since I only have that in protected format. Right-click and save-as if you want any of the others...they'll be gone in the morning.
UPDATE, 4/2: MP3s are gone now.
