The difference a song can make...

A big thank you to Hidden for the amazing playlists on Spotify 😁

Went out for a short run tonight after a busy day at work, was just about to give up & walk the 1/2 mile home - legs like lead, chugging like a steam train - on came 'It's raining men!'

and as the weather girls say 'alleluia'. Ran the rest of the way home with a smile on my face, singing as my breathing allowed 😂😂

It's amazing what the right song can do to push you over the hump. I love running with music for this reason and always use shuffle. The mighty gods of shuffle seem to know when you need that special song to come on, it seems 😆

Yes it does work! I was walking home after my run as I usually leave myself with a goodly cool down walk. Land of a Thousand Dances came on my music player and off I went again, running, dancing and singing my way home. It's very good for our wellbeing as well as our bodies.

I'll be singing Raining Men all day now. Tee hee

I love that song and find it really helps my mood when running - definitely one of my faves... Glad it helped! :)

It's mine & my sisters dance song at weddings (not that we need much encouragement to embarrass ourselves at the (extended) family weddings 😂)

So it brought back some good memories too 😁😁
