I never thought I'd say this...
...but Celine Dion has made my running playlist.
No joke. I went to see her in concert this week with my housemate (for free, even!) and she impressed me so much, that I came right home and bought her 2007 album Taking Chances on iTunes.
Today I took it out for my 4 miler, and it was awesome! Not all the songs are good for running, but there were a handful that were surprisingly great for it ~ Taking Chances, Eyes on Me, Can't Fight the Feeling, Fade Away. All of these have made the cut onto what will be my running playlist once I actually sit down to make it sometime later this week.
Now, onto the run. I was slower than last week. Alas. It was a good run anyway, and I walked a lot less than I had to last week.
I am also still fighting this sinus infection that I've had for nearly a month now. Earlier this week, I went to the dentist because my tooth pain was so awful that it was waking me up at night. They poked and prodded, took x-rays, even SHOT ELECTRICITY though my teeth, and yet they couldn't find anything that they could fix. Apparently my sinuses run really close to my teeth, which is what is causing most of the pain. The dentist put me on Augmentin, which is much stronger than the Amoxicillin that I had been taking before. After talking to a few different people, I also went to a couple stores and stocked up on probiotics in the form of yogurt and a couple bottles of Kefir smoothie. (Which, by the way, is DELICIOUS, especially after a run!!!)
So that is me right now. I'm planning on getting out for a few midweek runs this week, and at least one swim somewhere in there.
I love the way my legs ache after running. I can't wait until I'm up to 7 or 8 miles, when I'll REALLY be able to feel it!!!
