Calling all blog friends!

In honor of my second half marathon race being less than a week & half away (Jan 16 - yipes!), i am asking for YOUR help.

To make a kick-ass playlist. :)

Could you please leave me a comment with your most absolute favorite song to run to?  If enough people participate, we can all have new playlists!

I'll start. Feel free to laugh, but this song always gets my heart pumping a little faster....and yes, i do whip my ponytail back & forth.

"Whip My Hair " - Willow Smith

Runner up?

"I Want You So Hard" - Eagles of Death Metal

Here are 2 that have a great beat and kept me going during my last 1/2 marathon (a little too fast, so don't play them till after the first mile): Jump, Jive, and Wail - Brian Setzer Orchestra and Taking Chances - Celine Dion. (Hope I don't sound too much like a geeky white-chick!)

When I start working out again (ha, right.) this song is going to be first on my playlist, it makes me drive fast which makes me think it will also make me run fast. Plus the title is catchy and appropriate.

I Just Wanna Run - The Downtown Fiction

I found your blog through skinnyrunner.com. Good Luck on Sunday!

I actually do not listen to music when I run but during my last half marathon I passed a point where they were blasting "Eye of the Tiger" and since I went to Clemson for school...it totally pumped me up!

I have my next half in February and really want to be in the 2:40-2:49 range too!

Hey! Sorry for the late comment on this post but I had to share my favourite running song with you! I have only recently found it, and it makes me go faster & faster with every second when the bet kicks in :)

The song is by Nero, "Me and You"

I'm from the UK so it may be a bit difficult for you to find, but you should give it a listen. It's amazing!

I'm running my second Half Marathon in March & I'm so excited about it!

Good luck!

That's exciting! Good luck this weekend! :) My favorite to start off my run is "Beautiful" by Akon, gets me motivated!
