Cool Runnings

I've recently started running, now that the days are warmer, longer and doesn't get dark till nearly 9pm. After I've kissed and cuddled and put the children into bed at 7, I change into my running gear and off I go around the block.
My ''running gear'' currently consists of a pair of old leggings and a big baggy Nike jumper that is so old I don't know if it's actually mine or A's. I need to get myself one of those fitness trackers so it can tell me how well I'm doing - well no one else is going to give me a pat on the back so I figured I should invest in some praise giving instrument - even if it is only a digital gadget.
The first few times I only lasted 15 minutes which really shocked me about how unfit I have become. This has only made me more determined to keep this up so along with my Zumba classes, I am on my way back to fitness. I would love to go back to the fitness levels of my swimming, sports and hardcore gym days during school and university but I'll have to wait and see.
I also kept stopping to look at houses being advertised for sale
I also kept forgetting my iPod the first few times and today I remembered it - only to realised that the only music I have on it is Michael Buble and Adele! Hardly the kind of music to work up a 4 minute mile to! I managed to find one track which was more upbeat - Beyonce's Single Ladies and found that I was trying hard to stop myself from dancing rather than running! So I'm going to upload some of my ''better tracks to run to'' before my next run.
