Shelley helping us FEEL THE GROOVE!!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING NOTE FROM OUR FELLOW ATHLETE SHELLEY ANN!

Hey Team,

Hope everything is well with you and that you are enjoying the “off season.” 

Every athlete is inspired by something.  I’m inspired by music.  Although we cannot listen to it while we are performing as we need to give full attention to our guides, we can enjoy it while training on a spin bike, an elliptical, treadmill etc.  There are songs that everyone knows, such as the theme from Rocky, the theme from Chariots of Fire, Born to Run, Running on Empty, Running Down a Dream and I Got a Feelin’, however, we all have our own personal tunes that keep us stoked, jazzed, pumped, fired up and ready to race. 

The following are my Top 10 (plus one for good luck) lists that I have been listening to lately while training.  I should warn you all ahead of time that my tastes in music are all over the map!  It would be great if you recognize one or two pieces from my playlists or perhaps discover something new, too.

Now, it’s your turn.  I would invite everyone from our team to share your list of songs that inspire you and get you through a workout or ready for an event.   We may have some songs in common, or our playlists may be completely different.  Don’t be shy, you can even throw in some of your ‘guilty pleasures’ songs—everyone’s taste in music is as individual as they are.

Looking forward to reading your playlists!
