Updates Done to Music Page

                     Hey, blogettes! We have a newly updated music page to work with now, and it also includes a video of my all time favorite pump up song. The music page had to be updated because what songs I like to listen to before I go out and do something has changed big time, and I noticed that looking at the list that I had on my computer to the list that I had on my iPod. Most of the songs on the list are songs you have probably heard people play for pump up time also known as warm ups, or cool downs, wherever, and whatever the case might be. Some of them are Christian, but I just love the lyrics to them. I love how moving they are, and how the songs just want me to get up and go, and not worry about anything.
                    When I run, I want songs that help me forget the nerves, and just help me focus on finishing the course, and I want songs that have a good beat, and are easy to remember so that I can think them through in my head, and have a beat to run on or off of. I guess that is why most people run with music because music helps them. It helps me, a lot, but I have learned not to rely on it because we aren't allowed to listen to music while we run during cross country. However, conditioning time is different because we are all belting out songs left, and right, and I was almost tempted to get out my laptop and play some of the songs that I have on my iTunes, because they were the same songs as we were singing and I could tell that the singers were tired, and needed to rest. But let's be honest, conditioning sucks without music because you are focused on the pain and how tough it is when you should be focused on well nothing really because it is kind of like your cool down.
                       Cross country is a very challenging sport both mentally and physically. You have to remember the course, and then the map that was shown at the very beginning in case you get lost so that you can get back onto the route and catch up again. You have to physically be able to change at a moments notice, and be ready for anything that Mother Nature could throw at you on the day of the race. The coach one time told us of a meet where it was so cold, and then of another meet where it was rainy and the runners finished in mud soaked clothing with wet hair from the rain. Talk about harsh conditions.
                        Now that I am thinking about it, being covered in mud would actually be really fun, and make that meet something that you would remember for a long time. Honestly, I have nothing to share with you about the time where I was in softball, because there was nothing that really happened to me when I was that little that was memorable. It would also show that you did not wimp out, and you did everything.
