Running on iPod

Lately, a buddy of mine got me into running. By trade, I'm not a runner. I'm a cycler, but man is it catchy. Am I good at it? No not really. My range is usually between 3.1-5.5 miles at around 6.0 miles an hour. There aren't exactly land speed records being broken, but considering a year ago anything over a mile was an accomplishment. It's funny how muscles work. Last July I rode 77 miles from Albany to Herkimer (an upward 77 miles) but I couldn't run a mile.

Last week, a few friends and I have decided to run in the "Timothy Moshier Memorial 5k Run" this May. In order to train for this I made a playlist on my iPod. It's really not training since I can consistently run 5k, but I guess it's more for not embarrassing myself. Here's the playlist...


1) Bastian's Happy Flight/Giorgio Moroder*
2) In My Life/The Beatles**
3) Wake Up/Arcade Fire
4) Back on the Chain Gang/The Pretenders
5) Hold on Tight/Electric Light Orchestra
6) When You Were Young/The Killers
7) Roll Me Away/Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
8) Holding Out for a Hero/Bonnie Tyler
9) Danger Zone/Kenny Loggins
10) C'mon C'mon/The Von Bondies
11) Out in the Streets/Bruce Springsteen
12) How Far We've Come/Matchbox 20
13) Keep the Car Running/Arcade Fire
14) Don't Stop Me Now/Queen
15) Stone in Love/Journey
16) Miami 2017/Billy Joel
17) Heat of the Moment/Asia
18) Runaway/Bon Jovi


*Ok, so what. It's from The Never Ending Story... it's a good warm-up song.
** Not exactly a running song, but it's a quick two and a half and it's one of the greatest songs ever.

If anyone has any suggestions let me know. I'm always looking at adding new music.

Don't Stop Me Now is a great choice. I have that one on my running playlist as well. Great minds think alike I guess.

Great playlist — esp. "Out in the Streets," which I'd never considered running to! Check out my running blog at http://amyreinink.wordpress.com and click on the "tunes" category on the right side of the page for some more suggestions.
