Paris, 2am

April 29, 2014 by snapshotsandneedledrops

2am, Rue du Bac, 7e arrondissement de Paris I chose this photo because today’s song reminds me of some sort of chase scene through Europe– like it belongs on Jason Bourne’s running mix. This is undoubtably because it reminds me of “Running Away” by G. Love (embedded below) a great piece used in the movie Cellular. I’ve been running flat out for the last two weeks, so these tracks are fitting. I can finally see the light at the end […]

Tickle Me Pink: Color Run Canberra

February 18, 2014 by snapshotsandneedledrops

The Color Run Canberra On Sunday I was FINALLY in the same place as a Color Run. That’s the trouble with all this traveling around- I’m never in one spot long enough to wait for these things to come around. Fortunately, I knew I’d be returning to Canberra for the pleasure of having coloured cornstarch hurled at me. The Color Run has long been a bucket list item for me. It was my first real motivation for being able to […]

Favourite moments include the plentiful costumes, KISS tribute band, kids screaming you on, impromptu YMCA jog-dancing, stunning views of Sydney harbour at the top of “Heartbreak Hill” and soaring across that […]

My Running Jams: Fall 2012

November 12, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

One of the most common music-related questions I get asked is what I listen to when I go running. I used to find this to be a strangely personal request- how am I supposed to know what exact music won’t make you want to just give up and flop into in a sweaty heap on the side of the road? How will I know what you find motivating? Do you run to the beat? To the lyrics? To the gangsta […]
