Help build my playlist…

Date: 08.03.2010 | Category: foster, Saturdays, training | Tags: foster,marathon,run,training,Utah

The verdict is in.

After trying some long runs with and without music, I have decided to have my iPod at the ready for the marathon, just in case I need a bit more motivation to get me through the miles. I have tried a variety of different musical categories and specific artist playlists, ranging from Metallica to Classical music. They all have their pros and they all have their cons, so what I am looking for now are suggestions from you.

Help build my marathon playlist. Post a comment here on my blog with the song title and artist of a song or song(s) you think should be included in my marathon playlist. It can have a theme. It can be funny. It can be in a foreign language. It can be something you listen to while you exercise. It can basically be anything you like or would recommend, that can help motivate me to the finish line.

I will round up the songs and create a playlist of all the suggested items to be used on marathon day. From the list of entries I will randomly select one lucky winner to receive a run2100.com prize. Entry deadline is Friday, August 13th, 2010.

Thanks for your help and suggestions – have fun! Please don’t forget to donate to the Utah Foster Care Foundation.

I like to pretend I am running to the club so I LOVE running to Pitbull!! I also love running to Ke$ha and Nelly and Justin Timbberlake.
But my FAVORITE running songs of all time are:
Stronger-Kanye West
Shake-Yin Yang Twins
and
Forever-Chris Brown

Do you like Kings Of Leon? Their Only By Night Album is fun to run to…
If you want to give it a try you can borrow it from your Mexican neighbors. Good luck. I’m glad you are finally going to start running with tunes-it’s just not natural to run without them:)

  Thanks for the suggestions. I don’t know Kings of Leon that much, other than just whats on the radio, but I am willing to explore a bit. Hopefully you are still running to the club. =)

“I Wanna Be A Cowboy” most definitely. An 80′s song that always makes me giggle.
