Guess what I did today? I emptied my iPod shuffle. That’s right.I decided to load it only with songs that provoke my legs to run faster. It went from 6 hours of music to over an hour.
Of course it will have songs added to it fairly soon, but I figured if I plan on running my heart out tomorrow at the Hit the Road Jack 10k, I better have some tunes to get feet moving. Since I am shooting for around 52 mins. (which is around 9 min. miles) then I really don’t need very many songs on there. Although, according to all of you on facebook, I need to haul ass and finish under 50 mins. I’ll do my best, — but that would put me at under 8 min. miles. Will my playlist bring that to fruition?
Here are my “must run faster” songs:
No One – Alicia Keys
Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it) – Beyonce
Boom Boom Pow – Black Eyed Peas
Viva La Vida – Coldplay
Universal Mind Control – Common
Get Buck in Here – DJ Felli Fel
Lose Yourself – Eminem
Tambourine – Eve
Echo – Gorilla Zoe
I Want You Back – Jackson 5
Blame It – Jamie Foxx
Champion – Kanye West
Heartless – Kanye West
Let it Rock – Kevin Rudolf
Mr. Brightside – The Killers
Here It Goes Again – OK Go
So What – Pink
Sober – Pink
Fuego – Pitbull
Sexy Can I – Ray J
Nessaja – Scooter (for my Florida Speeters)
Bring Em Out – T.I.
The Way I Are – Timbaland
Shut Up and Let Me Go – The Ting Tings
Untouched – The Veronicas
Shake – Ying Yang Twins
That puts total play time at 1.6 hours, which is over my limit, but sometimes a song that you think is going to get you going (or normally does) just doesn’t work at times; so I loaded it with some extras so I can skip forward if I’m not feeling it.
Alright, there it is. I’ll try my best to make you all proud.
Play list sounds great! Did it work? What was your finish time? Hope you reached your goal we know you can do it but just setting yourself goals!
