As you read this I am probably on the treadmill (or outside) getting in my long run. I’m switching things up a bit, and since I have today off work while we are spending the weekend at the beach I figured I’d take advantage so I can help Wes tomorrow during his long run.
The past several months have been a whirl wind. I feel like I’m trying to be just a normal runner, but let’s face it I’m not going to be that “normal” for a while. It’s okay though. I’ll take it!
One thing that hasn’t changed however is my love for good music to run to. I kid you not I had not updated my iPod from February-July. I was running with the same music and some days it just got really old. I don’t run with music early in the morning outside, but on the treadmill on the weekends music is a must.
Can’t Stop the Feeling – Justin Timberlake
Blue Tacoma – Russel Dickerson
Louder – Yelawolf ft. Inkmonstarr
American Country Love Song – Jake Owen
Unsteady – X Ambassadors
Man Up – Younger Brother
Sway – Dan + Shay
Just Like Fire – PINK
Make You Mine – High Valley
I know we all have different music tastes, but these songs have helped put a little excitement back in some of my tougher run. There is nothing better than a good song to help motivate you!
What is one of your favorite running songs right now?
I had just heard Unsteady for the first time yesterday and really liked it! My most favorite running song currently is “Rise” by Katy Perry. Well, there’s that one and “Bird Set Free” by Sia. Both are incredible! The moment I heard them on Pandora I downloaded them! Have a super weekend momma!
I really like Unsteady from your list – A little slow for me to workout to, but I love it when I am driving.
I know it has been around all summer, but Cake by the Ocean by DNCE is a fun one. I like their new one Toothbrush as well.
Have a great weekend!
~ Run with joy!
