I don't own anything else of hers, but I bought that for my running mix and I swear I run faster when it comes on. That same version of I'm a Believer works well for me. Also the Foo Fighters Learning to Fly, Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson and (don't you judge me!) Papa Loves Mambo by Perry Como. For the last song of my first ever five mile run, my iPod shuffled up Home by Marc Broussard, which was also pretty motivating and highly appropriate.

Because I'm pretty sure The Golden Girls was playing in the living room. And yeah, <em>hot</em>. <br /><br />Now for songs I like to listen to while working out, I really like "Run" by Gnarls Barkley. If you read Linda over at sundrymourning.com, I know she's asked for suggestions before, you might find some more there. I also like "Take me on" by A-ha and "Chain me free" by The Matches.Christinehttp://swimming-with-sharks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-37491982435645290182010-07-29T11:56:43.267-07:002010-07-29T11:56:43.267-07:00Here are some of my favorite running songs:

I will never be a true Californian either, and I've been here 8 years now.<br /><br />Also, I used to hate my 2 days a week of working. Now that I have 2 kids, I can't wait for my work days. You are not alone. I wish I had enough money to hire a babysitter on other days just to have some time to myself.<br /><br />And have you tried any of the C25k podcasts? I am planning on starting it next week when I'll be cleared to exercise again now that my tonsils are out. I am going to try out one of the podcasts made for c25k that changes music when you walk/run.

Also Pump It by the Black Eyed Peas, which isn't something I'd usually listen to by choice but is FANTASTIC at keeping you moving when all you want to do is lie down and die.<br /><br />Congrats on the C25K :)Katie Johnstonhttp://katiejohnston.netnoreply@blogger.com
