Recently someone asked me to share my running playlists with them, and I was surprised to find that I was a little embarrassed to post a few of my favorites. So lets just say there is music on my running playlist that I would not be caught listening to otherwise. Lets face it running, especially long runs and training can get boring. The music I pick for my running playlists range from rap, 80's, country and just miscellaneous...are you kidding me tracks. The thing is it isn't always about the music, most of the tracks are about small moments in time that make me smile or take my for a trip down memory road.
There are a few songs that take me back to college where I would dance till the wee hours of the night, full of life and energy. There are a few artists such as Areosmith, who take me back to the music video era, where music videos were you and your friends would actually have to schedule Alicia Silverstone's next premier. Then there are just the classic running songs that get everyone going ACDC, DAFT PUNK, PINK, CAKE , you'll see them on every runner's playlist.
I guess I need to get over my embarrassment and just post a few of my favorites. Just know that for me these songs help me in several different ways. They represent recovering from a bad break-ups, cruising in the back of a pick-up in the summer time, over coming a challenge, how many stride per minute, keep your pace, don't quit now, climb, faster, slow down, I had a bad day, you're on the homestretch, leave it all behind, and believe in yourself.
