Hi! How are you? I’m good but still sick so my new super fast running playlist has not been put into good use. Boo. I was really excited about it!
I randomly put together these songs the other morning and I’m excited that it’s going to be the best running playlist for some fast miles for the second half of a 10 mile run. I’ll let you know if I ever recover from this rare strain of Dengue Fever that has taken over my body and actually use this music.
So, I didn’t run fast this morning.
And I didn’t run far.
But I did run into a beautiful view!
Welcome to Pico Rivera. No one ever knows where it is unless they’re from one of the bordering cities.
After my short run I came home and made Matt and myself a healthy breakfast. We have to balance out all that Christmas candy!
I spent the day hanging out with the dogs, checking email, sneezing, procrastinating, being loud and other usual shenanigans.
I finally decided to go out and get some DayQuil. (I make the executive decision to not take the medicine that expired in 2011 I found in the cabinet here.)
I saw this and thought “GENIUS!! Using that little plastic cup over and over – by a sick person – is not a good idea!”
I thought it was individual shots of the actual liquid DayQuil medicine. Nope. It’s a DayQuil or NightQuil drink you brew in the Keurig. I think think my idea is better.
I walked by the Christmas clearance section and saw some angels on sale. I think these are what the statue makers believe Mexican angels to look like. That got me thinking… I wonder if my guardian angel has red hair?
I filled up on vitamins in the form of blueberries.
And anti-oxidants in the form of chocolate. (Bailey photo-bomb!)
Matt and I are trying to keep things balanced and had a healthy lunch.
I’ve also been keeping up on my hydration. I drink a gallon a day in the form of: straight up, tea, coffee, Spark, sparkling water, my massive water bottle…
Bailey and Clyde say “Ruff”. That’s “hi” in dog talk.
DayQuill are, in general a bad idea lol.
And my music playlist are basically all the same for everything. I just skip songs If I’m running depending on my mood and pace.
Single serve cold medicine is genius!
Fun fact: my Grandma used to live in Pico, so most of my childhood was spent there!!
Awwww. Love it 🙂
Wait. Do you really have dengue fever? Or were you being dramatic? I have had dengue and its terrifying! But I survived to tell the story!
I was totally being dramatic. But I’m so sorry you had it – ugh. I’ve heard it’s horrible. Where did you get it?
My “fast” playlist is pretty much all Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. They’re a punk cover band. My favorite is probably the Broadway show tunes, but I also like Uptown Girl and I Am a Rock.
Good suggestions! I know my tastes aren’t for everyone so I love when people chime in with ideas.
I have several playlists of varying rates. This is my fastest one. I normally run at about in the cooler months 190 SPM (180 in the summer), so these are in the 194-196 SPM range. Sorry mostly rock here.
The Misfits : Hybrid Moments
Oingo Boingo : Grey Matter
Ramones : Judy is a punk
The Rolling Stones : 19th Nervous Breakdown
Wall Of Voodoo : Red Light
The Clash : I’m So Bored with the U.S.A.
The Dickies : He’s Courtin’ Courtney
The Flying Burrito Brothers : Christine’s Tune
The Goddamn Gallows : Big Man
Jethro Tull : Mother Goose
Lamb of God : One Gun
Lard : Mate Spawn & Die
Limp Bizkit : Full Nelson
Limp Bizkit (Androids -vs- Las Putas Remix) : Nookie – For the Nookie
Poor Dumb Bastards : My Dad Two Whores & a Crackpipe
Rainbow : Self Portrait
Great list! Thank you!!
I love your single serve cough medicine idea.
I have a running playlist with Eminem but also Adele. Sometimes a powerful vocal is as encouraging as a fast song.
It’s so weird, but I don’t have an Eminem on my playlist. But every time someone mentions it I think I should add some.
I’ve never had Dayquil or Nightquil, but I always hear people from the US talk about it! The brand isn’t sold here in Hong Kong.
Your box of blueberries is HUGE! I wish berries were cheaper here. They’re like a luxury fruit – but my favourite. 🙁

What do you take for colds?
On the blueberries… I get them from Costco here so they’re a decent price 🙂
