What is your running song?

Most of us have a song that gets us motivated or gives us that little extra push while running. What is your running song? One of the staples for me is Welcome to the Jungle by GNR.

I have a bunch -- but the theme from Rocky always gets me going.

Currently:



and

My top 5 in no particular order:

1. My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade
2. Thursday - Paris in Flames
3. 30 Seconds to Mars - Closer to the Edge
4. Yellowcard - Believe
5. All-American Rejects - Move Along (will forever be associated with Heartbreak Hill for me)

Currently, it's this...

Usually anything by Hall and Oates will do it for me.

This one gets me going, too...

Funny, I had you pegged as a Yanni man.

That was supposed to be Glad Live -- Traffic.

Actually, I think Yanni is second on his list. Followed by Michael Bolton...

Without a doubt, top two = Let's See How Far We've Come (it's also my ring tone) and Move Along.

1. Stomp (Evidence)
2. 300 Violin Orchestra (Jorge Quintero)
3. All for you (Sister Hazel)
4. Run around (Blues Traveler)
5. Stadium (Evidence)
6. Free Fallin (Tom Petty)
7. Sacred Pages (John Waller)

OK, I give up, I guess it really depends on the mood....

tickle tickle tickle yeah. Elmo and I know it - that is awesome.

This one makes me laugh every time I hear it, but it is on my list...

I have a fairly wide variety of music styles on my iPod.
Rock, bluegrass, and a lot of contemporary Christian tracks including this one - "Today is the Day".
I met Paul Baloche at an Integrity Music Songwriters Retreat in Alabama about 10 years ago.
If I am struggling and this song kicks in - I am good to go.

This is my song this week...

Sooo would this guy be in the wheelchair competition or just run on the wooden leg he's supposed to get? Another nice contemporary Christian band, aye?

My top ten current favorites are:

Don't Look Back - Boston
Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac (or the Glee version!)
Don't Stop Believing - Journey (or the Glee version-more upbeat)
Roll With The Changes - REO Speedwagon
Raise Your Glass - Pink
Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas
Never Been Any reason - Head East
Lose Yourself - Eminem
I Like It - Enrique Iglesias
I Gotta Feeling -The Black Eyed Peas

Next year my top ten will probably be totally different. Last year I was listening to tons of hip hop while running. This year it has been more classic rock. Although Don't Look Back has consistently stayed in my favorite list for a couple of years now.
