Just dance

Oh music, a very vital portion to a successful marathon or any race. It's funny how a great playlist can make or break a run. I like to choose music that makes me wanna dance and sing out loud. And yes, you will see me do some fist pumping while running. Sorry folks, but sometimes you just get caught up in the moment of a great song. I am guilty as charged. Music is very important and I tend to pick music that makes me wanna dance. My husband likes that dance-techno stuff and as much as I don't want to admit this, I think he has rubbed off on me. Something about a good beat that gets those legs moving. Don't worry folks, I love all music but running need those faster paced beats. Listed below are a few of my top picks.

- Love me again by John Newman
-Tonight is the night by Outasight (I could sing this all day)
- Take you higher by Goodwill & Hook N Sling
-Take me Home by Cash Cash
- Shots by LMAFO and ill Job (yea this is great to run and fist pump too, try it, you won't regret it)
-This is what it feels like by Armin Van Buuren
- We run the night by Havana Brown
- A light that never comes by Linkin Park and Steve Aoki
-Pompeii by Bastille
- Titanium by David Guetta and Sia

Ok that's enough for you to get started. Have fun when choosing your music, it's the best part about getting ready for a race. Also, towards the end my marathons, I usually turn the Ryan Seacrest top 100 countdown on to get me through the last few miles. I dunno what it is but counting down the miles while hearing the final songs seems to pass time. Maybe it's all in my head, but it works so not going to fix something that isn't broke;)

Ok so now for another protein shake recipe. This one is for anyone like me who has a sweet tooth. It's called the Wedding cake.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond Milk vanilla unsweetened
- 1 cup protein powder ( I have vanilla)
- 2 teaspoons almond extract ( if you don't like almond add more vanilla extract)
- 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup Greek or regular vanilla yogurt
- 1.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cup ice
 And the thing that makes it delicious
- 3 tablespoons of vanilla dry cake mix. I know, shocked huh, but adding this is better than eating a piece of cake. If you want to make your own natural vanilla dry cake mix, that will work too. 

Put all in blender and enjoy!! It is one if my fav recipes and hits the sweet tooth spot. Have a fabulous weekend everyone and enjoy the warmer temps, they won't last long.
