I am training for my next marathon and want to create a new playlist, so I thought I'd ask for help in creating a specific list. I want to call it my nostalgia running list and have it include only songs from my teens and early-mid 20s, which would put us at songs from 1997-2009. I'm looking for songs that make you want to DANCE (ridiculously mainstream or not). If I want to dance then I'll want to run!

So bring on your Back Street Boys and your Britneys, your Green Day and your Puff Daddy (before and after he became P. Diddy) whatever makes you want to keep running I want to hear it! :D

    Don't judge me on my Ipod (!!!), but my typical marathon training songs are:

    U can't touch this - MC Hammer
    Ice, Ice, baby - Vanilla Ice
    The Rockafeller Skank
    Lots of Black Eyed Peas
    Hi-A-Ma Pata Pata - Milk and Sugar with Miriam Makeba (my African background coming through strongly)
    Mandoza - Nkalakatha (another local flavour)
    Sexy and I know it and Everyday I'm shuffling - LMFAO
    I love rock and roll - Britney
    Come with me now - Kongos
    Without Me - Eminem
    Who let the dogs out - Baha Men (the memories made me add this...)

    My calm down and breathe songs:
    The Climb - Miley Cyrus (cringe cringe)
    Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright
    If I die young - Perry Band

    And then no list would be complete without Chariots of Fire (Vangelis)

    Rereading this list makes me want to delete and not post, but I'm going to go for it and hit "Post reply" in any case...
    I am going to hide behind a rock now.
