Running Mix For the Spice It Up 5K
I have recently taken up running as a way to stay in shape. I can’t say that I am great at it, but I plod along the best I can. Now most running purists would never listen to music on their run, instead preferring to listen to the pleasant cadence of their feet. Unfortunately, my gasping and wheezing makes it awful hard to hear my foot steps. Furthermore, I enjoy music to take my mind off the the minor discomfort of pushing my body a little further than I did the last time.
So, getting to the point, I made a running mix for my first ever 5K about a month ago. My wife liked it so much that she said I should make a new mix for each 5K I run in. I agreed.
The Spice It Up 5K is running this weekend, November 6th in Dublin OH. If you want to run around the park with us, you can register online or at the event. All details can be found on the Columbus Running web site. Spice It Up 5K.
