I was asked about my running mix from a reader after my Half Marathon and I wanted to let everyone know what pumps me up on my runs. I love running to music, even though recently, I have been running technology free. Music pumps me up. It totally kept me going on miles 6+ during the half. I was rocking out to Britney Spears like nobody’s business! It just takes my mind off the mileage and gets me pumping along to the beat. I am a big believer in that if you listed to faster paced songs, you run faster. That’s why I fill my ‘Run’ playlist with some booty-shaking tunes:

1. Got Money – Lil Wayne & T-Pain
2. Feel Good Inc. – Gorillaz
3. Hold Me Now – Polyphonic Spree
4. Sugar, We’re Going Down – Fall Out Boy
5. The Glamorous Life – Paul Oakenfold
6. Lose My Breath – Destiny’s Child
7. Breathe – Fabolous
8. Workout Plan – Kanye West
9. Hips Don’t Lie – Shakira
10. Gimme More – Britney Spears
11. Piece of Me – Britney Spears
12. Circus – Britney Spears
13. Kill the Lights – Britney Spears
14. Shattered Glass – Britney Spears
15. If You Seek Amy – Britney Spears
16. Toxic- Britney Spears
17. Stronger – Britney Spears
18. I Got That Boom Boom – Britney Spears
19. Damaged – Danity Kane
20. Hollaback Girl – Gwen Stefani
21. Rich Girl – Gwen Stefani
22. Life’s What You Make It – Miley Cyrus
23. Poker Face – Lady Gaga
24. Just Dance – Lady Gaga
25. Girl’s Night Out – Miley Cyrus
26. Pop- N*Sync
27. Push Up – Freestylers
28. Freakum Dress – Beyonce
29. Feedback – Janet Jackson
30. Pull Over That Ass Too Fat – Trick Daddy
31. Everytime We Touch – Cascada
32. Boys of Summer – Ataris
33. Call On Me – Eric Prydz

I also enjoy the GirlTalk mixes. They are perfect for my running music ADD, where I get bored of certain songs after a minute or two and need to switch it up a bit! Also, as previously mentioned, I heart Jay Blahnik. I love the Nike training runs by Serena Williams, All American Rejects and the Human Race specific ones. I try to do one or two of those a week, since they are speed training workouts. Love those!

What are your favorite running/workout songs?

Last night Mich and I were wiped out after a day full of shopping and a nice relaxing dinner, so we decided to hang out last night and watch a movie (or two). We started with Made of Honor, with Patrick Dempsey <swoon> and then watched Twilight, with Cam Gigandet <double swoon>. Mich had never seen either of those movies, so I was excited to see what she thought. Also, she has apparently been living under a rock, because other than ‘I think Twilight has something to do with Vampires,’ she had no background of the story. I kept my mouth shut throughout the movie because I wanted to see what she thought.

During our double feature movie night, we obviously had some snacks. I brought with me some Sonny & Joe’s Hot Enough Hummus. Remember when they sent me 7 different types of hummus? Yea, I am still working on those!

This hummus was H-O-T..HOT! And we totally loved it. I mixed around the hot peppers, with the rest of the hummus and it was totally a spicy fiesta in my mouth! Very fiery, but muy tasty!

Remember when Kashi sent me all those fun products to try? Yea, I am still working on those as well! I brought with me to the beach the TLC Fire-Roasted Vegetable crackers.

These crackers are made of red and green bell peppers, tomatoes, carrots, and onions all roasted together! Perfect pairing with the hummus. They were really good. I love the size of the cracker, they are great for dipping, and is packed with a lot of flavor!

On the way home from dinner last night, we stopped at the liquor store to pick up some drinks for movie night. They had a little tasting going on, so I decided to try out some new things. I have been reading a lot about the Sweet Tea Vodka, and I have been wanting to try it, and it was there to test at the tasting, so I am pretty sure it was meant to be!

I love sweet tea. Total southern girl thing. When I was looking at colleges, part of me REALLY wanted to go to school down south because they all were stocked with sweet tea. It may or may not have been on my pro/con list for schools that my dad made me write. Also on there, may have been Greek life and a football team! Hey, I knew what was important to me in deciding where I wanted to go to school.

Anywho, I loved this vodka. Firefly Sweet Tea totally hit the spot. When you drink it down, it tastes like sweet tea with a little aftertaste of vodka. They have tons of flavors, and you better believe I am going to be trying the Raspberry one too! I may make this my official birthday drink for next weekend!

Here are our drinks concoctions from last night. I had my Sweet Tea. I put half the vodka in the cup and half water with some ice. 70 proof baby! Mich had some plain vodka with cranberry and a splash of o.j. I think that is called something fancy, maybe a vodka sunrise?

It was a fun night with great snacks and fabulous cocktails! Yay for girls beach weekend!

After a long and hard day shopping, I will show you the purchases in a later post, we hardcore needed some fuel. Bethany Blues is a favorite of mine down at the beach, so clearly we went there for dinner. I am a big fan of the 21oz beers there. They come in ginormous mugs. Seriously, check this out:

Huge right? I like it! Beers should all come in this size! I got the DogFishHead Pale Ale. So good.

When you sit down for the meal, you get cornbread! So yummy! I had one little piece.

For dinner I got the Spinach Salad- It comes with caramelized pecans, craisin cranberries and Roquefort crumbles. Very good, but I couldn’t finish it all. I was in spinach with drawl today since I didn’t have my green monster this morning, so this hit the spot. Usually I get the Wedge salad every time I am here, but I branched out today.

Mich and I even had some leftovers! You got to love that. We had a delightful meal.
