Running Songs

I am obsessed with the music I run to. I realized it is best for me to post race recaps that revolve around my music, since music plays such a big part of my running. Certain songs motivate me, others let me zone out, some make me happy and others might annoy me if they come on at a less than ideal time!

Here are some of my favorite songs to run to:

    This is AWESOME.. thank you so much for putting out such a big list. I’ve been looking for a fairly up to date list all over. Sometimes I just laugh at the songs on a playlist.. like “how could they run to that!” But I guess I share your taste in music and tempo! Thank you!!!
