This weekend, the DFMC first-timers had a meet & greet and program overview meeting. There were probably about 50 runners there, and we were all split up into smaller groups. My group, Team Stronger (named after the Kayne West song, although I am on Team Taylor!), started talking about different music that kept us motivated to train. From hip hop to rap to country, there was quite a diverse range of songs that I was able to add to my playlist. In that vein, leave a comment with your favorite workout song(s) so we can add them to our running mix!
Needless to say, I left the meeting feeling motivated and excited to really ramp up my training. So during the nor'easter yesterday, my roommate Michelle and I decided to go for a quick 4 mile run. Not only was it wet outside, but halfway through our run, it decided to start pouring. Our clothes were soaked and the rain was dripping off the brims of our hats. Bottom line: I think I'm going to be able to handle running in snow better than running in rain - it was miserable!!

It was great meeting you on Saturday, Amanda, and I'm looking forward to keeping in touch with everyone in team Stronger.
Of course, as I mentioned at the meeting, I have an overwhelming preference for Bruce Springsteen. Just about anything up-tempo will do, but "Cadillac Ranch," "Ramrod," and "Working on the Highway" are all particularly good (all in addition to the more obvious "Born to Run," of course).
Rock and alternative are what get my blood pumping. Here are a few selections from my running playlist:
I am the Highway -- Audioslave
Remedy -- The Black Crowes
Heavy -- Collective Soul
Higher -- Creed
Pour Some Sugar on Me -- Def Leppard
Do You Feel Like We Do -- Peter Frampton
Wish You Were Here -- Incubus
Turn the Page -- Metallica
Supermassive Black Hole -- Muse
Defy You -- The Offspring
1000 Julys -- Third Eye Blind
Ones that I like:
If - Janet Jackson
Sweat - Filly
Most stuff by (hed) p.e.
Life is a Highway - both artists are good
Hey Mama - Black Eyed Peas
I'll keep looking and listening when I run... more to come I'm sure
Tubthumping - Chumbawumba
:D
Some of my new favorite running songs:
Liztomania - Phoenix
Do You Remember - Jay Sean
Boys Boys Boys - Lady GaGa
Missing My Baby - G. Love
You Don't Know Me - Ben Folds
Day N Nite - Kid Cudi
Kids - MGMT
Move Along - All-American Rejects
All Girl Talk Songs!
