So this morning I went for my first "real" run of the summer (I know, late start, I have been putting it off) Unfortunately my i-pod playlist sounded like last summers top 40 list.

I need to update my i-pod before my next run and need some ideas

What do you guys listen to? Any specific songs give you a little extra skip in your step?

    If and when I do run hard, I tend to listen to rock. 30 Seconds to Mars, Sevendust, Prodigy, System of a Down, Drowning Pool....all keep me going. lol I think it helps to have someone screaming at me to do my best and break through my confort zone. But when I am not doing anything too difficult and am just out for a nice jog, I'll listen to pop like Kesha, or hip hop like Chris Brown, and techno/trance/dubstep. But most of the techno stuff I reserve for hoop dancing.

    One song I just discovered that really gets me moving is the Adele/RASCAL remix of "Rumor Has It". Love it!

    Thanks for the ideas! I really do like everything. It's weird cause sometimes if I'm running really early in the morning and the streets are empty I like to listen to country. Other times I like stuff like Rihanna or Black Eyed Peas..then when I'm going really hard core I like stuff like disturbed and marilyn manson lol. Guess it depends on the day and mood :smile:

    Right now I am listening to the kids say how unfair life is because they have to clean there room and the song I am listening to is Yo gaba gaba since my 17 month old is watching it LMAO! But honestly When working out I listen to Audio books!

    ha im listening to my kids fight over having to feed the dog and telling each other off. I would intervene but they have to learn to problem solve. plus im just too damn tired! oh and im listening to the sound of something in my dryer that shouldnt be.

    What i want to listen to is some smooth r&b with a glass of wine!
