Hi friends! I have been getting some requests to share more of my workout music, so I am here to deliver. But first, I wanted to talk about this afternoon’s (blazing) run outside with Roadie.
I have been hearing how unbearably hot it is from family and friends down in Florida, and today I finally felt it.
I wanted to get a run in and needed to do so before an appointment I have at 4, so I took my chances against the sun and mid-80 degree heat of the afternoon and took Roadie out for a loop on the trails.
I would have sworn that Fall was approaching a couple of weeks ago. This week, however, Summer feels and looks like it’s here to stay for a while.
We ended up taking a couple of breaks in the shade on our run to keep cool, which I’m sure the pup appreciated.
Look at that tongue!
Upon our return home, I made sure that we both re-hydrated and I jumped in the shower.
As soon as I got back downstairs, I wanted all of the cold things in our freezer and made a smoothie bowl the size of my head. Well… what do you know, I ended up eating all of it.
In my smoothie:
frozen spinach
frozen banana
frozen strawberries
frozen grapes
1 scoop Designer Whey vanilla protein powder
a generous amount of almond milk to get it going!
Summer 2014 Running + Workout Playlist II
I was going to wait until the Fall to roll out my next workout playlist, but I have received a handful of requests to share more of them.
Summer tends to feature a ton of hit music on the radio, so I guess I lucked out there. Below you will find a compilation of jams I have been loving and breaking a sweat to over the past couple of weeks.

I use so many of these in my SPIN classes…great group of music! I can’t get into the new Katy Perry song though I want to but it just doesn’t do it for me.
Heather
Thanks! That’s funny, I always think of spinning when I put these playlists together! Which Katy Perry Song – This Is How We Do? Or Birthday?
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries
Ohhhh loving the idea of frozen grapes in the smoothie! I need to try that.
Great playlist! I’m always looking for more songs to add to my library for bootcamp classes and my own personal workouts.
Heather
I tried it for the first time just a month or so ago. So great!
Kaylin @ Enticing Healthy Eating
Shower, Bang Bang and Black Widow have been my recent favorite girl power/girl anthem songs on this list. Love them! Have a great weekend!
