running to the beat


With the run coming up on SATURDAY, I've been thinking about all my prep for my half marathon. One important factor is my music since my running partner is injured. I have had a pretty good "run girl" playlist that I compiled for my training--my favorite songs that make me wanna get up and dance. The pop of pop... My favs:

- Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomez & the Scene
- Countdown by Beyonce (love this music video)
- You Da One by Rihanna
- California Sun by the Ramones
- You Make Me Feel by Cobra Starship
- Shake Your Body by The Jacksons
- Rumor Has It by Adele

I've got a few more in mind that I want to add and Pandora if I need something fresh. Music has always been a major help and boost to my workout. I snap my fingers, run to the beat, there's no shame. Maybe I'll just dance my way to 13 miles. ;) Let me know if you have any other favorites that I can add to my playlist...

ah! thank you for reminding me about the Selena Gomez song! I heard it a bunch when I was back in the States for Christmas & forgot to dl it! I think her voice has such a great unique sound - pretty sexy! And would definitely motivate me to run :)

I love me some Mountain Man by Crash Kings, Kids by MGMT (don't watch the music video though, so sad. I picture Caiden the whole time.), Do You Wanna by the Kooks, Parachute by Ingrid Michaelson, Little Secrets by Passion Pit, and when I need a little push I throw on Never Say Never by J Biebs.

Anything Passion Pit for sure, espec. "Little Secrets" but I'm always amped up when I listen to Lady Gaga, and Rihanna, also, I've been listening to J Lo's "On the the Floor" and it never gets old. "Poppy" music is always the best for me, and I always run/dance my races :) Good luck!

Dancing on my own & Call your girlfriend, both by Robyn. I've been listening to Robyn pandora all week at the gym! Good luck on your run!

Good luck on Saturday! I think dancing to the finish is so much more fun than running. :)

If I am going to be active, which admittedly is rare, I like to listen to the Black Eyed Peas - their music always pumps me up!
