Got Tunes??


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)

  1. Holiday - Greenday
  2. Raise Your Glass - P!nk
  3. Thunderstruck - AC/DC
  4. Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard
  5. How You Remind Me - Nickelback
  6. So What - P!nk
  7. Baby Got Back - Sir Mix A Lot
  8. Paralyzer - Finger Eleven
  9. Dog Days Are Over - Florence + The Machine
  10. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham!
  11. Marry You - Bruno Mars
  12. Fat Bottomed Girls - Queen
I picked 12 in honor of Bloomsday being a 12K.  What are your favorite running songs?  I would love to hear.....

  3. Well, 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!

    Hugs,
