Coming up with Walking/Running Music

The treadmill is in a room now with no TV. No Thai? What the hell! So, I've moved hubby's CD player into the room and attempted to walk to music I already have. Okay. This may work for people who don't have rhythm, but for people like me who do...it totally throws you off! You step and the beat is behind or ahead of you. Not so good. So, I went to one of my favorite fitness review sites (www.collagevideo.com) and checked out their selection of walking music. I scrounged up some of the titles I already had and put them together on disc to walk and alternately jog too (on days I feel strong). Well, what a mess! When I was ready for the pace to pick up, the current song would maybe be a beat or two slower than the previous. I'd get into that niche then, all of a sudden, I'm off at a racing gallop. What the hell?

After my fiasco of a workout (some of which was done totally off the beat which made it really crazy), I got a pen and paper and really worked out how I want the disc to flow. This evening, I'll put a new disc together in hopes that I get it right this time. Man, pray for me. I probably had my heart cursing me out, last night. What the hell? (Oh yeah...I already said that).
