Come, run with me!

My half marathon is this Saturday!  I'm ready!  I'm excited!
Since good music makes a race so much better, I make a playlist for each race I run.  Gotta switch it up, ya know?  That way I have something to look forward to other than running for 13.1 miles...

Here's my latest:
"Empire State of Mind" - Jay-Z
"Machinehead" -Bush (I like to keep it real with old school)
"Grenade" -Bruno Mars
"Viva la Vida" -Coldplay
"Cooler than Me" -Mike Posner
"OMG" -Usher
"Tonight" -Enrique
"The Distance" -Cake
"Donde Estas" -Chenoa (sooo random, but I love a spanish song thrown in the mix)
"1979" -Smashing Pumpkins
"What You Waiting For" -Gwen Stefani
"Falling Slowly" -Kris Allen
"Time to Dance" -Panic! At the Disco
"Drop the Phone" -Shy Child
"Gonna Fly Now (Rocky Theme Song)" -Bill Conti
"Cute Without the 'E'" -Taking Back Sunday
"Bitter Sweet Symphony" -The Verve
"Comfort Eagle" -Cake
"Pressure to Come" -Shy Child
"Blow" - Ke$ha

Alright, I might throw in a couple Bright Eyes, Cartel, Something Corporate and/or the Format songs, but I need a little more. I'll be running for a long time.  Suggestions?  Tell me, What's on your running playlist?

The killers, Brandon flowers, Linkin Park... It's funny how different my running playlist is from my normal one.

No lie, I had "Get your head in the game" from High School Musical on mine. Just the kick I needed at mile 11 :)

Let's Get It Started - Black Eyed Peas
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger - Daft Punk
The Creationist - Kerli
All These Things That I've Done - The Killers
Bulletproof- La Roux
Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
Just a Dream - Nelly
Dance the Way I Feel - Ou Est La Swimming Pool
On Our Way Home - The Silent Years (It sounds slow, but I promise it has a perfect running beat)

The hard part was narrowing them down! Good luck - and I agree, I would never go farther than a half marathon!

Oh fun list!

Boom Boom Pow - Blacked Eyed Peas is my go to running song.

Someone else mentioned it, but Linkin Park is really great to run to. I also agree with The Killers.

I like Shakira - especially her spanish lyrics.

Thanks for sharing your list! :)
