    World's Greatest by R. Kelly. I know it's a slow one but all you are thinking about is Muhammad Ali, how can you not kick butt?

    No playlist is complete with "gonna fly now" the rocky theme song. That song always pumps people up!

    Depends on my mood and how fast I want to run.

    Sometimes metal, sometimes punk/ska, sometimes top 40, sometimes disco, sometimes 80s new wave, sometimes old school rap.

    Stuff I like that probably not many others listen to while running are "I've been everywhere" by Johnny Cash, and pretty much anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

    I'm kinda weird about running songs. I like something that is reasonably upbeat, but something that lasts a long time so that it occupies my mind a bit and by the time it's done I have accomplished a good deal of work.

    So a few...

    I Will Possess Your Heart - Death Cab for Cutie (Narrow Stairs) - 8:25
    A Quick One, While He's Away - The Who (Live at Leeds) - 8:52
    Like a Hurricane - Neil Young (Live Rust) - 8:03
    How Many More Times - Led Zeppelin (Led Zeppelin) - 8:28
    Down on the Farm - Little Feat (Live from Neon Park) - 6:23

    Cool down/ stretch = 'Uno' Birds of Tokyo

    Brilliant song. I used to listen to Motley Crue on the stair climb machine. I think it made me want to look like one of the girls from a MC video so I'd work harder... ha!
