Several months ago, I asked for suggestions from my FB friends for songs they have in their running playlists - great results, and my playslist is great...a few months later, and it's feeling a little stale, so I thought I'd post it here and see if I can get some new running inspiration. What songs do you enjoy to run to, and for what part of the run (is it a warming up song? Power Song to push you a little further? Etc...)

Any inspiration is appreciated!

    Call me crazy, but lately I've been loving running to the William Tell Overature! (i.e., the Lone Ranger theme...) :)

    Unstoppable by Kat Deluna, I'm Awesome by the Dollyrots, anything by The Donnas, Garbage, Veruca Salt, Hole, The Red Aunts... I like the fast hard Riot Grrl Rock when I run (although Unstoppable doesn't fall into that catagory.) When I'm on the Elliptical for long stretches I'll put on some dancehall style, Buju Baton, Kat Deluna, Rhianna, Sean Paul etc... I have crazy eclectic musical taste. :tongue:

    The songs that always survive on my running playlist are Rompe by Daddy Yankee, Your Love is My Drug by Ke$ha, Knock You Down by Kanye, Over by Drake, and my newest favorites are Waiting for a War by the Morning Benders and ABC by the Jackson Five. :)

    Good idea on the post... I need some new ideas too!
