Are You Plugged In?

That's what one of my professors asks when students walk into class with headphones on. It's kind of ridiculous/crazy how many people CAN'T walk from class to class without something playing in their ears. Personally, I like a little quiet. What about you?

I'm not much of a music listener while I'm working out either. In fact, I LOVE to run and spin and lift with nothing but my thoughts. Working out is my time. I get to think about anything I want: dreams, school, family, boys, jobs, my future. There are no limits! That is why I love it. I get some of my greatest insights and inspiration while running. When I'm frustrated, I run to work through it. When I have a problem, I run to figure it out. When I'm excited, I run to celebrate and feel my body being excited. Ya know?

There are still days where I take the ipod with me on a run or to the gym. Although it is rare, it does happen. And today I thought I'd share with you my favorite cool down song. I think we all have lots of workout songs to pick from. But I like my cool down songs to be meaningful and soothing. It's my treat for a job well done!

So my top pick is....

The Finish Line
by: Train


It was one of the theme songs of the past summer Olympics. Enjoy :)

I like music when I walk, although that's all I do is walk... but it has to be pretty quiet so I can still hear the desperate pleas of my baby. :)

Weird as it may be, because I'm a professional musician, I don't listen to music much. I think I get enough of it and I enjoy having quiet time.

Today at the gym I did an hour, and since I couldn't hear the TV because so many people were there today, I just thought about stuff. I like it that way. :)
