Running Playlist

Since I couldn't take my big honking camera on the race course with me I bought a disposable one. But as soon as I got back to the hotel I put it away and kind of forgot about it. I still have 9 pictures on there that I need to take before I can turn it in!

Soooo...until those pictures are developed....I'm making you all wait for race posts. I'm so mean:)

I asked my friends and family for a song to add to my running playlist that would help me and bring them to my mind while I was running. I was amazed at the diversity of choices! I heard so many of them and it helped me make it to that finish line.

Some of you have asked what they were so get ready...here they come!
