I'm definitely feeling the effects of last night's Girls Night Out event. Granted, it was for an amazing cause (the YWCA Resolve program that assists families/individuals that are victims of domestic violence), all the free booze that was flowing really took it's toll on me today. "But....I only had THREE drinks...." What I forget is, with lapband, my tolerence level isn't as great as it used to be. I used to be able to take shot after shot of tequila and party the night away like some crazed sorority girl. Now, not so much. My limit is 2 drinks or else I end up feeling like 9 kinds of death the next day. Luckily I only feel like 1 kind of death today...the headache kind. 1500mg of Tylenol later and I'm feeling fine, just sluggish and tired, being at work for 8 hours is just an *added bonus* to it all.
Headphones. I'm the type of girl who, when she finds something amazing, will share it with anyone who is interested (well, not everything...a girl has to have some things to herself...like an amazing recipe, or a great man). When I started the Run5K program, I was using plain old earbuds with a cord, because while I'm always willing to share the where and how much of a great purchase, I'm also a cheap bitch. I didn't see the point in running out to buy $50 headphones made for joggers, because I would have kicked my own ass if I'd spent that much money on an activity that I ended up hating. Once I realized that I loved running, I decided it was time to spend the money (even though I still think they were over priced). The pair I decided on were Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headphones with telephone capabilities. So if I get a call while I'm jogging, I can answer it and make people think the heavy breathing is "something else." Anyway, here's a link to the headphones @ Amazon if you're interested. They really are amazing, contrary to what the reviews say, I haven't had a problem with them falling off my head (and I have a normal sized noggin), they stay in my ears, and I sweat like a pig when I run and haven't had any issues with them not working due to the sweat. So, if you have a small-normal-large sized melon, and either don't sweat, sweat a little, or none at all, I'm pretty sure you'll be fine.
Playlists. I break my playlists up into one hour blocks on iTunes so that way I can listen to a different one each time I run and not worry about having to find the song I left off on last time. Run5K is a 30 minute program, but TV and I add extra walking time to the beginning and the end. She and I both googled Best Songs To Run To, and this is what I found. It's a great list, and even the comments have some amazing suggestions.
