I want to hear what songs you can't run without. I've been losing myself in my music lately but my one running playlist is getting predictable - even when it is on shuffle. My current faves are:
Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop
Britney Spears - Work B*tch
Victoria Justice - Gold
Ariana Grande - The Way
Katy Perry - Roar
Lorde - Royals
Sara Bareilles - Brave
AWOLNATION - Sail
Maroon 5 - Lucky Strike
Britney Spears - Piece of Me
Avicii - Wake Me Up
Leave me your favorite workout songs! And be sure to stop by tomorrow for a special 5K recap!

PS - Milli and Harley "helping" me workout:
Aren't they adorable?
Anything Could Happen by Ellie Goulding and Call Your Girlfriend by Robyn are two of my favorites! Congrats on being almost there. I hope the temps for your half are much better than they were this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE running to Work Bitch, I can't get enough of it! How about Avicci "Levels"?
ReplyDeleteOddly enough I have Shakira on my list. Even if I can't understand her 72% of the time, the beats are awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to admit your training gives me a glimmer of hope. I'm averaging 12-15 miles a week right now with a goal of a 10k. It's getting easier or my addiction is getting stronger to think I may be able to push to half eventually!
