True Life: I Hate Running

It's the New Year. Gyms will be packed for the next 4 weeks (or less). Therefore Alumni Row's theme for the month will be fitness!

2013 will definitely be my year to get in shape. I got workout gear and shoes for Christmas. Problem? I hate running. I want so much to become a runner. So much that I want to take off running on my first day. I realize this isn't possible since I'm not used to running at all. With all my years in marching band, I am trained to walk to a beat. Therefore music will be my motivation. I love making creative playlists (with names such as raspberry lemonade, popcorn randomness, crank, and discotecas) but now my playlists will have meaning . I found a workout plan that incorporates interval running. Now I need to convert those miles per hour (mph) to beats per minute (bpm). 6 mph is 150 bpm, that's 25 bpm per mile. Therefore the workout plan in terms of bpm is:
