When
I'm exercising, I definitely like to listen to music, but I haven't overhauled
my playlist in years - and that's where you come in! Please, give me one or two
(or ten) of your favorite songs to get you going when you're running or at the
gym. Obviously, upbeat is good, and I'm a sucker for lyrics that mention
running (i.e. "So I ran faster..." from Tori Amos' "Precious
Things" or "You'll run and not grow weary..." from U2's
"Drowning Man" or even "In a mile you'll be feeling
fine..." from Citizen Cope's "Son's Gonna Rise.")
Here's
what's currently on my playlist; are any of them your favorites? Some of them
are definitely tease-worthy as well, don't hold back. :)

I love your playlist! It's so 90s and early 2000s.
ReplyDeleteI would add One Man Army from Our Lady Peace and the whole record "Two lefts don't make a right (but 3 do) by Relient K. That album was my number 1 running and biking music when I was a new runner in the Army and the 2nd slowest person in my unit.
I actually usually listen to Podcasts these days when I run.
