13.1 Miles of Music

Before I ran my half marathon I searched and searched for different songs to include on my playlist. I have to listen to upbeat and fast paced music in order to stay motivated to run. Throughout my hour of searching I came out with only a few songs that I knew would work for me which was a little disappointing…hey not everyone is as picky as me I suppose. So I gathered up some random music that I knew would help motivate me throughout my run. I thought I would share it in case someone else decides they want to search for a playlist and has the same taste as me! 🙂

Bad Girlfriend – Theory of a Deadman

These are just some of my favorites out of the bunch. I have about 170 songs on the playlist and I doubt you’ll want to read through all of them! Either way, all these songs got the job done and had me motivated the whole 13.1 miles of running. Some people might have caught me dancing, and sometimes singing (out loud), while running. Hey, you gotta do whatever works, right?
