    Great - any particular tracks? I have a funny playlist that I have put together that has anything from the new Happy, to born to run, stones' brown sugar' and triple j's 2013 top 20! so it is a little idiosyncratic!!

    I am always in the mood for a new playlist!

    I have discovered electronic dance/club music. I never go to actual clubs and don't listen to the music around the house, but it works perfectly for me when I'm working out. I use Pandora and have a "station" that I'm happy to share with any of you who use Pandora. The music is what I think of as upbeat, not too noisy, somehow inspiring, and has a groove to help me get into the "zone". A lot of it doesn't have any vocals. I like Pandora because I can quickly skip songs I don't like and I hear something I haven't ever heard before during every workout.

    Also NPR came out last month with a "Cabin Fever Playlist" that I just downloaded on Spotify. Its mostly happy upbeat classics.

    Spotify- now that is something that I have to try. On my way home from soccer refereeing I will get my son to sort on my mobile!

    Today I listened to Blur. Song 2 really gets you moving. Spotify does have some great running playlists already created.

    Today I jogged to London Calling by The Clash. I'm sure I looked like an idiot because I couldn't help but throw in some dance moves. And I may have even sung out loud at times.

    Today I listened to The Defamation of Strickland Banks by Plan B, an English musician. Track 3, Stay Too Long, was the perfect beat for my jogging.
