    Hey, lovelys! Looks like today's our official start day. This week, (June 6 - June 12) why don't we talk about music? You can suggest songs, artists, etc. What music pushes you through a hard workout, what music relaxes you. Have fun this week everyone!

    Just did W1D1 and I was dying. OMG, worse feeling ever. But now that I'm done and at home resting I feel so much better.
    Music wise, I'm very interested to know what you guys are listening too. I was jamming to Jennifer Lopez's new song.

    Just did W1D1 on the treadmill. It was a total of 1.81 miles for me, with a 1% incline, running at 5mph, and walking at 3mph. It was a little too easy so im going to bump up the speed for day 2. Goodluck to the rest of you ! :flowerforyou:

    Way to go! I don't have an incline on mine, or I would use it. That's a good idea that you just gave me. Usually I would keep my speeds the same, but I guess if it's too easy for me I should bump it up. Good idea!

    W1 D1 complete. Treadmill version, walking 3.5mph and running 5.0-5.5mph.

    Just finished W1D1 :drinker: It was easier than I remember it being last time I didn't even check my ipod for the time every three seconds :laugh:

    Great job everyone who finished their first day and good luck to everyone who is going to start tomorrow!

    As for music while running/walked I listened to: Christmas by theTrans-Sibreian Orchestra (Clicked the wrong playlist at first) For a Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimisic, Gives You Hell (Glee), Suddenly I See, Secret, and She Will Be Loved.
    When I finished I listened to We Are the Champons :smile:
    In general, currently I am loving me some Boyce Avenue they cover songs but sometimes change the lyrics too like the song Teenage Dream they made it from the guys POV and sooo much cuter!

    Good for you! Yeah, the looking at the time thing is an issue for me too. Nice playlist! Although, I only know 3 of the songs lol.
