Half Marathon Musical Selections

By
""I'm feeling stronger than yesterday.." sings over and over in my head. Never more than " I got stamina. Don't give up I won't give up, don't give up. No No No." "Back in the day when I was young," I fell in love with music. I mean, " Music makes you lose control. Music makes you lose control" and  I realized pretty early that no matter what I was feeling there was a song that did a better job than I could to explain how I truly felt. 

So when running music helps me through the hard times., it penetrates my soul as well as my sole and truly makes me move my feet!  I've explored different running stations on Spotify as well as Pandora's Running (Radio Mix) Radio, Rap Strength Training Radio and Pop and Hip- Hop Power Workout Radio. If I had to choose Pandora beats Spotify every time. I just like that its simple.Although I like Pandora I love my Nike running app and it and Pandora aren't really friends. However, with all the new changes to the Nike app it has made the linking up even easier with Apple Music. As I have Apple Music its made my life even easier and like I said I'm a girl that likes it simple.

Music, no matter the genre has never scared me. I love to "move to the rhythm of the beat"  and I love lyrics.. its the Gemini in me.With a total of 62 songs from a variety of genres, I've set myself up with  236 minutes of  motvation, (half) marathon murdering tunes also known as music (insert evil laugh).  Making sure that I have an abundance of choices leaves me with the ability to skip songs as I like. More importantly there are no commercials for too much skipping and that folks is what I call a WIN!!!

 Here's a look at my playlist:


My original 10k running list

Kill Gym Funk with Vinegar!

By
Vinegar and gym funk? Say what! Yup Vinegar can kill gym funk. If you've been in the kitchen, watched Doctor Oz or ever did research on losing weight you've heard the word vinegar before. Health nuts drink the red type. Red vinegar is actually used by a number of naturalist to clean their hair and flush fat. White vinegar was a staple in my childhood as my mom used it to clean chicken, wash mirrors and windows and after one trip to Canada, wash clothes. Those of you in the laundry business know what I am talking about. My mom's cousin owned his own laundry mat in Ontario, Canada. One summer changed the course of laundry in my home. Uncle Carl, as I called him, told mom he placed white vinegar in the washing machines to help brighten and whiten the clothes. Over the years I got away from using vinegar on all my loads but recently came back to it. Here are 5 reasons why you should consider using vinegar in your laundry, especially your gym clothes today. 1. Ki
