I'm getting ready to run Bloomsday this weekend....you know, that little 12K run up in Spokane ;)
One of the items on my prep list is to update the "running" play list on my ipod. I want to make sure that my songs have a fast enough beat to keep my pace where I need it to be. So...I made a new list. It's called "Run FASTER". Think the name will help?
I think runners are always trying to find the best music for their workout. My friend Kim told me about this great little website called jog.fm. I tried it tonight. You can search for music based on your per mile pace or the bpm (beats per minute). That is really cool!
I came up with a list of about 29 songs and thought I would share some of my favorites with you :)
In no particular order (cause I don't really want to take the time to rank them)
- Holiday - Greenday
- Raise Your Glass - P!nk
- Thunderstruck - AC/DC
- Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard
- How You Remind Me - Nickelback
- So What - P!nk
- Baby Got Back - Sir Mix A Lot
- Paralyzer - Finger Eleven
- Dog Days Are Over - Florence + The Machine
- Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham!
- Marry You - Bruno Mars
- Fat Bottomed Girls - Queen

These are great! I have Dog Days as well - great for runs. Here are some of my tunes:
ReplyDelete- Beyonce: Diva; Run the World (Girls)
- Imagine Dragons: On Top of the World; Radioactive
- Macklemore & Ryan Lewis: Thrift Shop; Can't Hold Us
- Lil Wayne: 6 foot 7 foot
- Gusttavo Lima: Balada
- Don Omar: Hasta Que Salga el Sol
Hey, thanks Christine! I'm going to check out all your tunes too :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't run... but I love your song list!!! Whatever helps you keep putting one foot in front of the other is what you should listen to! Keep running!
