I did it again.

I decided to run a 5K.

As I have shared before, running is not easy for me. I think my body is built for short bursts of effort rather than endurance sports. This second go around was easier for me, I think for a couple of reasons. First, I have lost about 7 lbs of fat since my last outing. Second, I have been doing more intense cardio with lots of interval based training. Both things together made this repeat less “painful” than my first run.

It still wasn’t easy. Music helps. If I can get lost in a song with the right pace, the time and steps fly by. This month’s playlist is my running playlist. Use it for your next workout or event.
