My 5k playlist

Options
I am the type that likes to have a good beat to run to but also to have messages in the lyrics to help keep me motivated because let's be honest after 10mins I want to quit. I don't, I keep going, and here is my list:

60 minutes (I added an extra song or two in case I feel like skipping a song)

1. Tailspin - Theme Song
This song always gets me pumped instantly. I remember when I could only run as long as the end of the first chorus. Now it's not even a worry about making it through the whole song + 10 other songs.

2. Where's the Love - Hanson
I think this is a good follow up song because it has a good beat (not as fast as #1 but still awesome) and I like the lyrics - Where's the love for myself? I gotta love myself and run and get thin

3. If I Had You - Adam Lambert
If I had you - talking to my skinny future self, money fame and fortune never could compete

4. What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) - Kelly Clarkson
Running is not going to kill me, it's going to make me stronger and I can SO do this!

5. Turn Me On - David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj
Good beat and makes me feel sassy

6. Reach - S Club 7
Love these lyrics! So motivating. The chorus is:
Reach for the stars. Climb every mountain higher, reach for the stars. Follow your hearts desire, reach for the stars. And when that rainbow's shining over you tat's when your dreams will all come true.

7. Part of Me - Katy Perry
No matter what no one can take away my determination and motivation to do this, no matter what anyone says. I trick myself into thinking that I am so motivated nothing can stop me even if I feel weak during my run and want to give up.

8. Love You Like a Love Song - Selena Gomez
No reason other than I like the song and the beat!

9. The Edge of Glory - Lady GaGa
I am on the edge of glory and I can almost see the finish line I can do this! I am more than halfway done.

10. Can't Stop - Hanson
The legs hurt, the body is tired, but i CAN'T STOP!!!

11. Firework - Katy Perry
I feel like a plastic bag but I know I can ignite my light and let it shine and own this run like the fourth of july because I am a firework and I can show everyone what I am worth and they will go OH OH OH with my new skinnyness :)

12. Ghost of Me - Daughtry
The ghost of me that was my fat former non-running self. I am running away from HER.

13. Country Girl (Shake It For Me) - Luke Bryan
I am shaking it for Luke Bryan across the finish line!

14. All Shook Up - Elvis Presley
I am all shook up running in the 5k! Take a small break here. The song is 2 minutes so if I need a break it's good so I can push faster across the finish line.

15. Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
I am having a good time running and completing my goal. SO CLOSE (if I'm not there yet) I am traveling at the speed of light and NO ONE CAN STOP ME NOW!!!

16. Born This Way - Lady GaGa
This is one of the best songs. I am born a superstar. I was born to be brave. I've had disabilities in life and no matter what has stopped me before I am on the right track baby I was born to survive.


Added suggestions (my total list is 50 songs): Honorable Mentions:
1. Rolling in the Deep - Adele
2. Set Fire - Adele
3. Gettin' Jiggy Wit It - Will Smith
4. The Power - Snap!
5. Rhythm is a Dancer - Snap!
6. Tubthumping - Chumbawamba
7. Be My Lover - La Bouche
8. Burn It to the Ground - Nickelback
9. This is Your Night - Amber
10. C'Mon Ride the Train - Quad City DJ's
