What a difference 53 pounds and 9 weeks of Boot Camp makes! I went for a run in my gym tonight and did the longest consecutive run that I've ever done -- 3 miles without stopping or slowing down to a walk (save for 1 minute at the very beginning)! And to think that less than a year ago, I was unable to run for more than a few minutes without my debilitating compartmental syndrome kicking in, pinching my nerves painfully and causing my calves to lose circulation.
I had my gym mix on and was listening to a great song, and the thought of how far I've come with my band's help came into my mind. I felt so happy that I could have cried! Instead, I just kept on running.
For all of my bandster friends who are trying to get into the gym, I am going to post my current workout mix. It's a really good one and will totally get you going (assuming you like dance music). A few of these versions are remixes, so if you're going to load them up to your iPod, be sure to get the right version. Here goes:
1. D.A.N.C.E. - Justice
2. Ooh Wee - Mark Ronson, Ghostface Killah & Nate Dogg (OMG, I LOVE this song, especially the cowbell . . lots of good cowbell!)

4. Jealous of My Boogie - RuPaul
5. Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) (Dave Aude Remix Club Version) - Beyonce
6. Boom Boom Pow - Black Eyed Peas
7. Sexy Dancer - Bob Sinclair (Amy, I think you will love this song!)
8. Poker Face (Jody den Broeder Remix) - Lady GaGa
9. Rock That Body - Black Eyed Peas
10. LoveGame (Dave Aude Radio Edit) - Lady GaGa
11. Another Star - Stevie Wonder
12. Fine Without You (feat. Jennifer Rene) - Armin van Buuren
13. What Else Is There? (Thin White Duke Remix) - Royskopp
14. Who Will Find Me (Main Mix) [Edit] - DJ Shah
15. All the Things She Said (Extension 119 Club Edit) - T.A.T.U.
16. Miles Away (Morgan Page Dub) - Madonna
17. Celebration - Madonna (this was just released this weekend!)

oooh thanks, I like 99 percent of those songs. I'm writing them down!
So great you jogged for so long.. seriously. I did that down the farm.. down the loooooong drive to the house and was aware of getting a black eye (from the oversized boobs - sigh) the whole time. But I did it.. and I wasn't TOO puffed! It's the best feeling.
Cara, that is so great! (Well, other than the black eye!) :) That is very excellent that you motivated to get a good workout, and I hope this mix will help keep you moving! :)
No doubt awesome! You are doing so great Catherine!
That's great that you're doing so well on the run, and incorporating music into your post titles. :) I'm looking forward to being able to get back into a workout routine. Maybe by the end of the year I will be able to jog too. That would be something.
Love the dancey hits!! I will definitely be downloading those :-0)
