OK, I'm a day late with the Mother's Day greetings, but hope all the moms out there had a happy day yesterday! Today, while I was thinking about writing a post I went back to thinking about my mix for the More/Shape Half, which I put a lot of women musicians on. It's a real... Continue Reading →

Music(less) Monday – Thoughts from the More Fitness Shape Half
Every Monday I have posted about my love of music while running, and in yoga, songs I recommend, and working on playlists, etc. etc. The past Sunday was the More Fitness Shape Women's Half Marathon, and as I was getting ready for bed Saturday night I realized I hadn't finished my list. So I grabbed... Continue Reading →
Follow-up to Monday’s Post
Good Morning! Just a brief note in follow-up to my most recent Music Monday post. Today on Facebook, More Magazine/Fitness Magazine Women's Half Marathon page posted a share from Fitness Magazine with Spotify playlists, including the "100 Top Workout Songs from Around the World." So I immediately went to my Spotify and followed that playlist... Continue Reading →
Gone are the Days of the Walkman
Listening to music or not, my songs for the perfect playlist just for fun, and by event. I've covered this so far on Music Monday, but what about how to find, gather and play the music? I am an iPhone user, so I used to use iTunes, It wasn't always best for finding new music,... Continue Reading →

Music Monday – Run the World (Girls)
With less than 4 weeks until the More/Fitness/Shape Half, I started working on my playlist yesterday. It's a run in NYC so there will probably be some NY-themed music, but it's an all women's run, so I think I should have some girl band and girl power music. First up, "The Warrior" by Scandal. I've... Continue Reading →
Music Monday – Play(list) It Again
My "running season" starts in 5 weeks with my 1st Half of 2015, More Fitness Shape Women's Half, and while I was on my long training run this weekend it struck me that I have to start my playlist for the Half. Even though I have a great training music mix, I like to create... Continue Reading →
Music Monday – You Always Remember Your First Time
As a runner who runs to music, so many of my "running moments" are marked by the music playing while the moment is happening. When I hear the song again - whether running or not, I am often taken back to that moment. The first time I ever ran a mile (it was on a... Continue Reading →
Music Monday: Child of the 80s
On my old running blog, I focused on music on Mondays. Music has always been a part of my life - listening and singing (I am still a singer and an avid music listener). I know that purist runners run without music, but it is such a part of my running experience. It's funny, the... Continue Reading →
