Music, a Movie and a MAC at Midnight
So much for the early to bed concept, it’s just about midnight and I’m up playing with my brand new toy!
Besides the new computer, I accomplished a lot today. First the toddler and I had a little fun in the kitchen making fruit kabobs. Then, it was off to the gym where I actually ran for 5K on the treadmill. I’m still in a state of shock! I mean, me, a runner. HA! When did this chubby, lazy computer geek with the short spiky hair turn into a skinny, active MAC user who runs for fun with a long ponytail flapping in the wind?? I mean seriously, it’s just crazy.
Ok, back to these M’s. We covered the midnight, the MAC, the Movie so onto the Music. A few people have asked what’s on my iPod for workouts. WOW that’s tough for me because I have SO much. I could probably do a weekly workout mix post. Hey, w-a-i-t a minute, that’s not a bad idea! I’m not making any promises but when I make a new mix, I try and post it. For now this is my running mix, and I’m happy to report it was just about long enough for my 5K!
Just so you know I always start and end with slower songs for a warm up and cool down.

Roni, Congrats again on the run...I have been training for a 1/2 marathon since Jan. I have had to change my date of the race due to being sick for a few weeks but I am still running...hear rate is key...find your zone!!
Also, I have been a MAC user for the past 4 years...I wouldn't have it any other way!! Enjoy the ease of computer work!!!!!
welcome to the mac world! the husband and i both have mac laptops and we will never go back to PCs!
Congrats on the run!!! My first 5k felt like it would kill, it was my very first day of cross country training! You did much better.
Mad World is an amazing song.
Once you go Mac you never go back. Mac's are awesome. Just make sure to take the time to back up everything. This Christmas my hubby and I both got new Mac computers. Two weeks ago my hard drive just up and quit. I had never backed ANYTHING up. I lost a ton of stuff. I do not think this breakdown is common for Macs. My old Mac is still up and running just fine. But the new one had to take a vacation and get repaired. Thank goodness for the warranty. If you have any questions just post it on your forums...I am sure tons of poeple will answer you.
Congrats on the 5k. That's fantastic! Running outside is definitely different than running on the treadmill. The treadmill has more cushioning than running on concrete or asphalt, so it's definitely a good idea to get in at least part of your training in similar conditions to what you'll have on race day.
Congrats on the Mac, too! I've been using Macs for nearly 20 years. I have that same MacBook Pro. :-)
I laugh that people often say to me
YOU SHOULD SO GET A MAC. YOU MIGHT THINK YOUD HATE IT BUT YOUD LOVE IT!!
to which Im compelled to respond:
I KNOW Id love it---you buyin?
congrats on your new toy!
I LOVE your blog! I check it out daily and greenlitebites too-love it! I don't enjoy cooking bc it's hard to find healthy recipes but you have made it easier for me!
I'm a runner and it's an addiction-just you wait and see!
Maybe you can help me. I got scared when you mentioned 6 and 7 MPH. If I do that I struggle. I can jog at 4.5 - 5 and make it through two miles. Is there a target speed I need to be working toward? But I do run faster times outside....treadmills kinda freak me out a little. I know I'm odd....everyone else seems to enjoy them.
LOVE IT! Your music mix that is. You're as schizophrenic as I am with music! And Debaser is serioulsy my favorite Pixies song. It makes me dance everytime!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
LOL BACKYARDIGANS?? I actually enjoy listening and watching the backyardigans with my two toddlers. I know what song you are talking about "GO,GO,GO." It will probably be with me the rest of the day! Great job on the 5K.
we will be mac users for our next computer. I'm jealous!!
Thanks for posting your music mix! I checked out the videos for them on Youtube - love The Cat Empire!
Congrats on your run!
Ok, congrats on the 5K. I have never been able to run for more than 4 minutes but you are inspiring. I have also considered getting a MAC. I have heard from others they are great.
Also, I really do not think I am too much older than you but I have heard of NONE of those artists on your list. I will have to check them out. Thanks for all the great posts, Roni.
aHHH... the Mac... I bought the iMac last year, and I am mad that I never did it before. It's just wonderful... Did you get the .mac program? I love it. It's just so simple to use. CONGRATS
Congrats on the run WOW! I was playing around with one of those ipod fitness trainer sites that mixes in your itunes music. I went to set it up and realized I own no big people music these days. I guess big red car might be fun to do on a run and maybe not.
Gotta get some big girl music.
Welcome to the mac world it is awesome.
Yay for 5k! You'll keep surprising yourself the longer you run, everytime. I am cracking up that you have the Backyardigans on your iPod.
WOW so much fun stuff in this post! Thank you for posting your playlist, I am desperate need of some music that will keep me going in my own training for a 5K :)
Congrats on the run....
did you watch biggest loser...how amazing what those people can do!!!
I blogged again..trying to get better at this :)
Keep up the great work!!!
My DH went MAC last year and says he'll never go back. He's looking to get me my own personal one so I can surf the net in bed or on the couch or anywhere! ;)
And my DH is on his 3rd hard drive in a year...but he bought a re-furbished MAC so that may be why...but just to warn you. I'd get the Apple care.
Gotta love The Backyardigans!
I'm downloading it now. :-)
welcome to the Cult of Mac! My partner converted me almost a year ago - and then I got my job to buy me a new MacBook Air.
Thanks for the music listing - I'm kinda interested in trying one of those weight-loss-podcasting-
downloadble-motivational-
whatever-they-are services.
your side bars on your food site are annoying!
Thanks Guys!
Alisha - Not sure what a target speed would be either. I know a nice slow jog is 6. I'm going to try and run the whole 5K at that speed if I can.
Anon - in what way? I just love anonymous, negative comments that don't offer constructive feedback, only critism.
PS! I'm writing this on the MAC! LOL I am loving it!
