I Dance To The Beat

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get music? Please, I am in desperate need to actually own music (not necessarily by buying it for $1 or $2 a song) and not only listen to Pandora for the rest of my life.

Last night I discovered three new stations on Pandora that you need to check out:

1. Bon Iver - Thanks to my friend Emily from Cape Town, this guy is one of my new favorites 

2. Trevor Hall - Special thanks to Clare for always playing his CD in her car

3. Dance Cardio- Please just listen to this while on the treadmill or at the gym

4. Classical Piano Radio- They play nothing but the best and it helps with writing papers (I promise)

Today I worked for a few hours and then had a great mid-week workout at the gym.  I beasted 30 minutes and a little over 3 miles on the treadmill, which I am convinced was more, and hit up some stretching and abs.  I am so astonished by how much my body can transform itself in 6 short weeks--the race is only a few weeks away but I am already so much stronger and will definitely be ready!

Hump Day

Please excuse me for the somewhat corny quote that I chose to add from pinterest. I believe that it is fitting of my mood today.  I woke up and finally the sun was shining again.  Though I didn't want to leave my bed, and yes it took a few snooze cycles, I managed to get up and get ready for the day.  I had originally decided to workout this afternoon but made a point of getting there bright and early.  There is just something about starting the day off with a successful workout that puts me in the right mindset to get work done.  And this of course was true, I am rambling about writing final papers and studying for final exams (which are starting so so soon!)

I wanted to share my good mood and excitement for today with you in hopes that maybe you too will have a great day!

Also, my first 5k of the season is on Sunday and I cannot wait to run it with my mom :)
