I’m out for my morning jog, and it’s getting excruciatingly hot.  It’s August, and I got out later than usual so I didn’t expect great weather, but I was sweating buckets.  So the sun is blaring, I’m struggling to keep my eyes clear of sweat, and I’m not in the greatest of moods.  Sometimes, when you are in a hard workout, it’s best to use your anger and pain to fuel your workout.

When I was about 75% of the way completed with my workout, one of my little sister’s songs from Enchanted comes on my ipod (don’t ask me how it got there).  It was the song “How does she know that you love her”, the one where the princess starts singing in the middle of New York city, and then convinces the street performers to join in with their bongos and instruments.  Anyways, it is quite hilarious if you haven’t heard it.

The whole song I was smiling and it even made me laugh out loud because it was so out of the ordinary.  The point is that I’m pretty sure that this one pick-me-up-song extended my workout about 10 extra minutes.  It lifted my frustration and I was able to finish my workout, surprisingly, in a good mood.  Laughter really is the best medicine and possibly another unfound workout tool.
