Running Mix Fav's
So I wouldn't say that I exactly LOVE to run, but once I force myself to actually do it, I feel healthier and my body just functions better. I have always been addicted to music, especially unique music that I hear on a movie soundtrack or artists that haven't made it yet to the #1 spot. Sometimes there isn't a soundtrack available on i-tunes so I look through the credits at the end to look up the title and artist name. (I think I got this from you Ryan).
Anyway, here is my running mix for the moment that I blast while I run. It changes frequently. Instead of buying new running clothes or something else to reward myself for running (because really most days I want to die rather than run) I just download a song on i-tunes or Amazon for .99 cents. Ryan showed me how I can actually download MP3 songs from Amazon and that way they aren't encripted (basically I can burn them to a CD as many times as I want, or share them in various ways that buying them off of i-tunes would prohibit me from).
Anyway, most of these songs are pretty popular, they aren't ones that I would consider part of my "unique playlist", they just get me revved up to run. Let me know your favorite running songs. I am always looking for new ones!!

Cool Mel, thanks a ton! I can't wait to start running again. I'm like you I dread it but I end up liking it once I get started. I'm going to copy and paste your list and check them out. I like ones I don't hear on the radio either. One of my favorites is Wynonna's "girls with guitars." I don't even play the guitar but the song makes me wish I did!
