Turn up the tunes!

During my 5k race I didn't listen to music. My motivation to continue running was that I wanted to finish the race in under 35 mins. I was also pretty excited about running with a crowd of people and having other people see me run. But usually there's no way I can run more than 5 mins without music. Today I was having a hard time getting through my sprints and then an awesome song came on and it made me want to continue running. I have a great playlist for running that's full of fast, motivational, happy music. I love how when a song that's just a little faster then the previous song comes on and makes me want to run faster.

Here are a few of my favorite songs for running:

• Sexy Bitch - David Guetta : I know that I'm going to look like a sexy bitch because of running fast to this song!


• You're a Superstar - Love inc : I certainly feel like a superstar when I run to this one


• Like a Prayer - Madonna : This one makes me think of my friends and it pus me into my happy place


• Lets get Retarded - Black Eyed Peas : I have 4 BEP songs on my play list, but this is my fave. The beat makes me want to run faster


• Stronger - Kanye West : This has one of my fave mottos in it "what don't kill me, only makes me stronger"

It's hard to cool down to fast music like that, so I also have a playlist with slower songs. It's mostly John Mayer and the Killers.

What kind of music do you like to work out to?
