I'm slightly OCD.

OK, WAY OCD.


I want to run on the beat of whatever tune I'm groovin to on the iPod.

Tonight, just started running because it was time but I wanted to finish the good song. I was NOT running on the beat which was a little nerve racking. But I kept running. NOT on the beat.

I felt I ran faster.

I went the whole 2.5 miles NOT on the beat.

Before I thought I'd run with the beat so I didn't slow to a turtles pace. And it just "felt" better in my little OCD head.

Sprinted in the last 3/10th of the mile. How far is that in human distance? It hurt.

But I think I'm going to buck the tide and run again next time to whatever song I feel like listening to. Not just the ones that have 152 to 169 beats per minute.

Not that I used a metronome and spent hours upon hours counting the beats to songs I liked to make sure I was running fast enough.




NAH I wouldn't do that.

Yep, I did.
