Pictures That Give Me The Heebie Jebbies & Surprisingly Great Songs to Run To

Noah found these creepy pictures of a megaladon (a prehistoric fish, ancestor to the great white shark, thought to be much bigger, thus much creepier). They have been hanging around in our "My Pictures" folder for a few months, and they always give me the heebie jebbies, so I try to scroll past them as quickly as I can. Don't worry. The pics aren't real (duh, prehistoric fish), but they are digitally created. YIKES!! I guess I should just delete them. Now scroll really fast to the next part of my post, past the pictures. Hurry! Before he bites you!! Heh heh, fooled you.

Alright, you are safe. Now to end on a lighter note: Here are some songs on my ipod that are surprisingly great to run to. The titles are not linked to the songs because my computer is much smarter than I am and has not told me how to do that.

1. 2 Legit 2 Quit by M.C. Hammer - All you have to do is insert the word, "I'm" in before he sings the chorus of 2 Legit 2 Quit, and you will be able to gain the momentum needed to finish a run.

2. America by Neil Diamond - I don't have a reason for this. I guess immigration just really makes me want to exercise.

3. Eureka by The Backyardigans - Yes. I know this is a children's song from a popular cartoon. I realize that it is kinda slow. But for some reason, just trying to figure out why you like it so much just makes the time go by quickly. (*Also try Rad Moves by The Backyardigans)

4. Forever Young by Rod Stewart - I feel just like a teenager when I hear this song. And teenagers run, right?

5. Waking Up in Vegas by Katy Perry - It's just a fun and spunky song.

**There you go. Now you know one of my secrets: I listen to dorky music. Not sorry, though.

I'm not going to the beach ever again. I had just recovered from JAWS too! Sheesh!
I love your music and I think your dorky if you don't like the Backyardigans because we all know they have awesome soundtracks. :) I'll confess that when I actually ran (it lasted about 6 months) I had the closing song to Lazytown (Bing Bang?) It takes me to my cheerleading days. Another great one is Don't Look Back In Anger by Oasis. It had the perfect steady beat for me (which is probably slow for most runners). Somehow it put me into a trance that I would forget that I was running but moving nicely to the beat. Maybe I should start running again. . .MAYBE after the baby.
