My Soundtrack
Many runners are adamently opposed to listening to music while running. I get it. I understand the need and desire to run with nothing but the soundtrack of the outside world. It helps you stay focused on your breathing and it keeps your mind uncluttered. I completely respect runners who are music-free. However, I really enjoy listening to music while I run. It helps me power through the tough parts of a run and it keeps me motivated. I purposely choose songs that have a solid beat and lyrics that speak to me. I try to change my playlist every few weeks so that I don't get bored with the same songs, and I regularly have three or four running playlists that I alternate between based on the distance of my run and my overall mood. One thing I struggle with is finding new music to add to my playlist, and I find running blogs to be a great source of inspiration. I found so many new songs based on recommendations from other runners in cyberspace. So, to help pay it forward, I'm posting my new running playlist. Hopefully, it can provide some new ideas for those of you struggling through the same old playlist that you have been running to for weeks.
