"The Jam" Thursday - What is blowing up my iPod

Oh Thursday, we meet again.  It feels like I haven't blogged in a week.  Oh wait, I haven't!  HA!  This past weekend was FULL to the brim with Princess Half weekend activities.  Meetups, expo, running and sleeping squeezed in there somewhere.  It was a whirlwind of a weekend, but wouldn't have changed a thing about it!  I got to meet some incredible women (and a couple of men!) and really got to enjoy the whole experience that is a runDisney race weekend.  I will be chronicling the weekend over next weeks posts so STAY TUNED!

Today is back to business though, it is "The Jam" day where I share songs that get my booty bumping and my legs pumping.  Today's "jam" is one of my favorite songs from this artist.  It has this innate ability to raise my spirits and get me focused on the moment I am in, whether it be running or just out and about.  This song came on during my run on Sunday and it couldn't have come at a better time.  I was running up the overpass, on the grass because everyone on the road was walking and I couldn't weave through the crowd anymore (more on that later), then this song came on.


 
Don't mind the video, it's pretty abstract, just close your eyes and listen to the beat and the lyrics.  It touches so many facets of life in its context that I can find a meaning for this song in just about any situation.  But this past time when the song came on, it was a life saver.  I got goose bumps all over and had this energy surging through me and I felt light, my strides effortless and the incline was almost non-existent to me.  I really needed that boost that good music can give you and this was perfect.  I hope you enjoy it and consider adding it to your playlist!  Enjoy!

  2. While this song doesn't really do it for me, I'm glad it does & DID for you! Way to push through it...during not ideal conditions.

    1. Well the real motivator was you, my dear. Trying to keep up with your speediness got me through times I wanted to quit. I'm so thankful for you and your help during that run!
