On this busy and blustery day.....

So here's a little something that's gonna have far less to do with running and my "wipeout" and a bit more to do with Lady GaGa.

That's right... I haven't lost my mind.  I did say Lady GaGa.

Today I won't be making it out to run due to school work and my teaching certification class that's in Austin.  In fact, I'm sitting in a hotel lobby right now waiting for my conference to start.

Instead of writing about my running goals and how my progress is going, I thought I'd write a bit about what keeps me going when the going gets tough.

Lady GaGa has a lot to do with my running success (so far).  I listen to her album The Fame Monster while running.  I can't even remember listening to anything else in my headphone since I started training.  It's not the her music is the best... it's great, and I'm obviously a big fan, but I'm sure there's better out there. It's not the her music makes me run faster... It's just that listening to Lady GaGa makes me want to run longer and farther because I know that one day, all the hard work will pay off and I'll be as confident as she is when she's on stage.

Now, I know I need to start changing it up and listen to something else, that's become apparent, even to me.  But I don't know that anyone else will inspire to run and train to my best ability like she has.

I'm sure I sound a bit goofy now, which is fine.  I can understand that the people who really know me and will read this are gonna wonder how a girl that loves hard rock and hardcore music finds such energy and inspiration in a Pop Princess... maybe they'd understand taking inspiration from anywhere possible if they were attempting to run 6.4 miles.  lol

So there you have it, I won't be running today, but tomorrow's another story.  Maybe I'll even have some news on changing up the playlist for tomorrow's run....

Here's to running - cheers!
