My most recent "power song" on my Nike run app is Sandstorm. Laugh all you want, when that song comes on I can somehow easily pick up my pace. It made me sprint mile 8 of the half marathon last year! I am kind of over running to Girl Talk so I am looking for some new song suggestions!
I just got the Nike free runs and love them. I started running last week - but just 3 miles on Wednesday and 3 miles on Sunday. I am going to do 3 today and probably 5 on Sunday. My training was going to consist of 2 runs a week and continuing my current Gym Matrix / Hourblast workouts b/c I don't want to give those up. But last night I discovered this online and thought it looked tempting...

Basically its a challenge to run every day from Thanksgiving to New Years. You can run as little as one mile - just as long as you run. I'm thinking I am going to try it. It will be hard but surely I can find 10 minutes on a busy day and run one mile. That will be 24 straight days of running. PS if you run 365 days straight you can get your name listed on this website: http://runeveryday.com/ but I am not up for that challenge... yet
