Best Workout Music: Workout Playlist w/ 120 - 180 bpm songs
A Bold Pace &bull Jan 25, 2012
I'm officially hooked on workout music. I can always use a little extra motivation to keep going at the gym and I love it when a strong "power song" comes on when I need it. So here's another workout music playlist (first playlist) below that takes some of the best, strong-beat running songs from other playlists along with some new music not on any other playlists. For me, the 120 - 130 bpm songs are good for stretching and warming up, the 140 - 150 bpm songs are for lifting, and I switch to the 160 - 180 bpm when… Full Story »

{race report} The Philadelphia Marathon...10 years later
A Bold Pace &bull Dec 18, 2011
Wow, this is so overdue! This was my second running of the Philadelphia Marathon on the 10 year anniversary of my first time and first marathon.

Best Yoga Music: Yoga workout playlist - alternative, indie, & jazz mix
A Bold Pace &bull May 3, 2011
I'm trying to keep up with Monica's bold pace (on the run and in life). She recently began testing the waters with some supplemental workouts including stretching and yoga. OK, she needs good music for that too, right? She tells me that they have the typical new age, mystical music that you would expect at a yoga studio. I decided to look into yoga music and I was amazed at how little variety there… Full Story »
