MattRide's Journal, 04 July 2022

FS friends' motivation posts helped me smashed my all time PR, jogwalked 10.10 miles today at a faster than my average speed ~ not quite a marathon caliber yet but working on it !🤸‍♂️🎼
.
I need several fast-tune music (rap, rock, latin etc to keep my speed/pace going faster. Any suggestion? Something like Despacito by Louis Fonsi
.
Thanks y'all

Way to go Matt that’s awesome! My garmin wants me to run 9 miles next weekend. But I haven’t conquered 7 yet so I’m wondering if I should aim that high. I thought of you and your long distance inspiration. Look at you crushing those miles!

I don’t listen to music when I run though I do in the gym because I find gym more boring without it

Hi Cindy, Thanks for your words of encouragement! My suggestion on Garmin target run is to break that 9 miles into an early morning & an evening run separately say 4.5 miles each. That’s what I do when my knees or legs start to sore. This is for a long term goal to be ‘fit like a rock’ 🏃‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️All the best !

Oh BTW, I use & need music because there are so many noisy cars & trucks here purposely ‘smoke’ their loud exhaust ! Arghh

Matt that’s a good idea to split the run up, thanks. Sorry about the cars and trucks bothering you. I am lucky my road connects to residential areas.

Thanks SK but no thanks 😅 Cant do classical ~ it would be a lullaby at the bench along the trail & people can hear my snoring miles away haha

If you can‘t be open-minded about classical Matt then try "Walk Like An Egyptian“ 🎵

Oh Matt, please be careful and congratulations!!! 🎉 💪 Try, ‘Siegels! (Stop It Now)’. It is Rockin' and Rollin', and has run, run, run, in the verses.👍

Uggh. Coal Rolling... we get that on the east coast too, never understood that type of mentality.

Hi Beaux, what app are you using to track the progress? BTW One day when everything is on electric EV (if we survive that long), we have the opposite problem ~ i.e. we cant hear the vehicles coming our way 😊. Plan another long ride this weekend?
