12.30.2005 - Songs to run to...
Everyone has their favorites. I've found that songs I traditionally like, don't exactly get my butt in gear when I've hit the ground running. But I have some that do! Many of which are a little unusual like Meatloaf - Paradise by the Dashboard Lights...whats up with that?!
Here's what seems to get me motivated while I'm running around with my head cut off...
Black Eyed Peas - Hey Mama
Radiohead - Idiotheque
Queen - Under Pressure
Smashing Pumpkins - Bodies
The Katies - Noggin' Poundin'
U2 - Zoo Station
Run DMC - Tricky
Jamiroquai - Cosmic Girl
Kanye West - Gold Digger
Self - Trunk Fulla Amps
And my favorite song to run to these days...
Self - MARATHON SHIRT
tell me who's to blame for this ink spot, question mark, blood-stained sleeves in the parking lot, ve had it since i was twelve and i wear it like hell, wash it when it gets worn, dirty, tattered, torn fell in love with me and wears me with pride, we bathe in ultra tide when i start to feel guilty, and everyone's jealous cause they wish they had it, i'm half a man without it, i'm the king of style...and i'll keep on wearing my marathon shirt and i'll wear it everyday til it hurts and i got no lady over her confidence-a-plenty in my marathon shirt...once loaned her to a friend for a party and i worried allnight like a mother does, and when she returned all wrinkled and helpless, she smelled of cheap cigarettes and other drugs, i'd wear her in any seasoni'd wear her for any reason, the only promise in my life's that shirt of mine, and day after day, as her colors fade away, i'll remember what she felt like the first time...now i've come to lay you down you can soak into the sound and i'm so elated she can't be recreated and the water's turning brown my baby she's no hand-me-down...
You can download a live version of it here. Good stuff, I say!!
But I want to expand my collection of running songs before the marathon...I've got around 250 or so on my "marathon playlist" but I'd love your input on what I should add. I thought about listening to some live concert bootlegs while I'm out there...but I'm not convinced that's the way to go...
Sooo...
What songs motivate you?
What gets you going?
What should I add to my marathon playlist??
Any suggestions?

Hey Barbara,
I'm training for L.A. in March. It will be my second time running it, so I'm hoping to improve. Phoenix should be fun. I hear it's flat, so that ought to help out a lot.
Best of luck, and have a great new year.

Rusted Root has a great song called Back to the Earth which is totally awesome with lots of drums and inspiring lyrics!
Metallica is always good too with some fast hard stuff to get you're heart pumping with great lyrics that are great to run too!
Hey there sexy! My playlist is all over the place. I have stuff like hard rock, rap and techno all on my playlist. Everything from N.E.R.D., Jack Johnson, Coldplay and Korn. But, if I were to recommend one song that always fires me up, it's the techno version of "Gotta Get Through This" by Daniel Bedingfield. It just gives me the motivation again to keep going.
