Workout Motivation & A New Baby

One of my very best friends had her baby yesterday!! This is her 2nd kiddo, so she's basically an old pro now. She found out she was pregnant within a 2 weeks of conception so we feel like this girl has been with child FORVER! They are like family to us and I can't wait to be a special part of this baby's life. If he's half as fun and cute as his older brother then he'll fit right in. He has my heart already! There's nothing like the feeling of holding a precious little new born baby.

I already told Skye that I will probably get baby fever for a couple of weeks...scary, I know.
Gunner Gaines 7 lbs. 6oz. 19.5 inches long born 7/16/12

I'm sure you will see all kinds of cute little baby pictures of Gunner in the days to come.

And moving right along...I told you yesterday about my renewed workout efforts that are taking place. I wanted to share with you some of my updated running playlist. I'm the kind of girl who has to have very fast paced rap-style music to run to. I need something with a fast beat to keep me going when I'm running. (If I'm just doing strength training then I can listen to just about anything that's semi-fast paced). So here's what I am listening to currently when I run:


 



 And of course I have to end it with Like A Boss because that's just how I roll! haha

Just as a side note here too, some of these songs have offensive lyrics, I don't mind because I'm pretty gangsta like that, but if you don't like cussing, etc. then some of these just won't work for you. Just had to warn you! Music is a huge part of keeping me going when I run, so I hope that this helps you if you're struggling with some motivational music.

I need a new pair of running shoes too, and I want these! Love the hot pink. Does anybody actually own these and run in them - do you love them? Usually I'm not a Nike girl when it comes to running shoes, I stick more with Asics. But for these cuties, I might make an exception.

Gunner is so stinking cute! I can't wait to see more photos.

Also, I just bought new running shoes but now I want those! A girl needs more than one pair...right? :)

I have to have upbeat music too. Doesn't necessarily have to be rap, but can't be too slow. And your "Push It" song cracks me up; that's the song my hubby said he was going to play in the delivery room when I had our oldest baby. :)

oh man, we both posted newborn pics today....we are spreading baby fever like it's really a contagious disease.

*high five.

Unknown said...

I really need to get my work out on! Keep it up lady!

Lindsey said...

LOVE your new shoes!!!

Unknown said...

I have the Nike frees and I LOVE them. They are super lite weight and feel like you are barefoot. And they also fight tight to your foot so it's not always sliding up and down.

Baby fever SUCKS! When my sister in law was pregnant and then had the baby I wanted one so bad.. Until I remembered I enjoy sleeping all night!

I am a BIG FAN of rap when I run too :-) Wiz Khalifa is one of my faves. Love your playlist! And those sneaks? Love them too. My trusty Asics are past their prime and I'm looking for a new pair of running shoes rigtht now too. I love the support that I get from them, but looking into another brand. I've heard good things about Brooks!

Elizabeth said...

Glad I came across your page! I'm a runner myself and could use some of these fast paced songs!!

Happy Following! =)
