"The Jam" Thursday

Okay, so I probably say this every week, but damn, Thursday is such a tease!! So close to the weekend, yet so far away! I get a three day weekend coming up because I took Monday off, woohoo! I get some time to recover from my weekend, which is always busy, and I get some time with my hubby because he has Mondays off.

Speaking of my hubby, can I just say how wonderful he is and how lucky I am? (okay, having a mushy moment here.) I came home last night and changed out of my work clothes to some house clothes, per normal routine and while I was doing that my hubby remarked, "I'm making dinner tonight, so we aren't having what is scheduled for tonight." (because yes, I meal plan for the week and buy ingredients during the weekend so there is no thinking when I get home, I just make dinner.) Okay, I thought, that's cool with me. So he showed me what we were having and got right to work on cooking because I was hungry already, or rather baby was hungry!

So while dinner was cooking, he had me lounge on the couch while he had some of my favorite music playing and some picture slideshows going on the tv while, get this, he gave me a leg and hip massage!!! I just stared at him for a while wondering, what is going on, is there something wrong and he's just trying to butter me up? But nope, he just wanted me to relax and take the time off my feet since I usually make dinner and cleanup the kitchen each night. Such a wonderful treat, it was fabulous and I'm such a lucky lady to have such a great hubby. Thanks sweetie!

So onto Thursday's business, sharing my favorite jams, the songs that get my legs pumping and my booty bumping. Today's jam is a special one, I've been holding onto this sucker for months because I knew the perfect week to post it and it's this week! This is for all my Team @runDisney family that is there or on their way to Disney World for the big Wine and Dine Race weekend. Tonight is a very special occassion for some of my BRF's, they are participating in the first ever night runDisney meet-up, so cool! I can't wait to see the pictures and read their tweets as this event officially starts the race weekend festivities and the events will go strong until the wee hours of the morning on Sunday. So jealous.


So in celebration of this big night race coming up on Saturday I wanted to share this jam for all of those venturing on the dark course and braving 13.1 magical miles, and for those that are wishing they could be a part of it as well!  Today's jam is:

 

Can't Hold Us - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

 

I felt like this song was so appropriate for this night race. Just the beat and the lyrics:

 

this is the moment/

tonight is the night/

we'll fight til it's over/

so we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us

 

Everytime I hear this song I'm bumping and grooving to it, singing along and just loving on this song. Not to mention Macklemore is a local artist in Seattle and is a huge icon here who has really exploded onto the music scene this year. So take a listen and let me know what you think. This is on rotation for my running music, it's just such a good song. Also good luck to all those embarking on the Wine and Dine race weekend, I wish I could be there with you this year, maybe next year? We'll have to see about that. Until next time, have a great Thursday!
