My Running Playlist

As promised, I have a half marathon playlist to share with you guys. Though I didn't make it especially for this half marathon, so I will call it my running playlist. I won't hear every song on every run, but I know that I can't go wrong with any of them. I must warn you that I am very much one of those people who listens to pop songs when I run, so please feel free to judge some of the songs on my playlist. I am judging myself for some of my choices, but I can't deny that they are fun songs to run to. So, without further ado, here is my most recent running playlist:

• Die Young - Ke$ha
• Best Love Song - T-Pain, Chris Brown
• What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction (before you laugh, just know that there are many more songs by One Direction on this list)
• All Star - Smash Mouth
• Live While We're Young - One Direction (told you)

As you can probably tell, I very much like listening to old songs when I run. And yes, I do really like Katy Perry, One Direction, and Taylor Swift. Confessions. If you have any songs that you LOVE on your running playlist, please send them my way. I am always on the lookout for new running songs!

I got some new running shoes at Luke's Locker to break-in after the half 

Pumpkin spice and caramel apple cookies - the perfect way to relax

And I am sorry I have been so MIA these past few days - though they haven't been crazy busy with a lot of school stuff (I'm surprisingly on top of things this week, though next week will probably be the death of me), but I have been busy getting things ready for San Francisco - running some last minute errands and crossing things off of my most recent to-do list, and just relaxing, which I definitely needed. Plus, Dylan and I had to make up for our lack of a Thursday tradition this week since I won't be here. His mom actually just got to Austin so we went to dinner at one of my very favorites - Pappasito's. Not a bad Texas send-off meal! I hope your Wednesday has been a fabulous one!
