Running by surfers making the sketchy cliffside hike up and down from the waves at Sunset Cliffs on Friday morning
This week I discovered something life-changing: Spotify Personalized Running Playlists.
I say this at the risk of exposing the fact that I live under a rock. Because this seems like something so obviously obvious that I should have discovered much, much sooner.
And yet, there I was last week, running to the "Eat Pray Love" audiobook like a chump (one could argue there are multiple layers of chumpiness involved in that admission).
The difference in running to Elizabeth Gilbert whining about her struggles with meditation versus a playlist of music I either love, just found out I loved or forgot I loved, all timed to match my pace is truly, as I mentioned, life-changing.
Not only did I find some great new bands that I'm now obsessed with, but it got me through all four of my runs this week, two of which involved me running through my hangovers like a champ (Alternative post title: From Chump to Champ).
So there you have it. The secret to NYC Marathon (pre)Training, Week 2.
Sometimes it's the little things.
