The Playlist

With my iPod ordered and on its way and the first meeting of our little running club just a few days away, I thought I'd list some of the tunes that I hope will keep me at least interested motivated to stick with it.

A girl can dream, right?  So here goes...

Rolling in the Deep, Rumour Has It, Set Fire to the Rain  (Adele)  -- I love Adele.  I hope I don't lose my mind and start singing along as I try to run.  Oh, who am I kidding.  I'll be too focused on breathing and not falling down.

Dream On (Aeromsith) -- Maybe this should be my theme song.

Staying Alive  (The Bee Gees) - No, wait.  THIS should be my theme song.

The Thunder Rolls, The Beaches of Cheyenne, Standing Outside the Fire, We Shall Be Free, Callin' Baton Rouge (Garth Brooks) -- Who isn't in a better mood when Garth is singing?

A Matter of Trust, We Didn't Start the Fire (Billy Joel) -- Billy Joel's music just makes me happy.

I'm on Fire, Born to Run, Streets of Philadelphia (Bruce Springsteen) -- I do love some Bruce!

That's the Way it Is, A New Day Has Come, I Drove All Night (Celine Dion) -- Don't judge me...

Roar, Firework (Katy Perry) -- I put these on my list so that my boys will think I am the coolest mom ever...rather than the nerdy mom who sings along with Celine Dion.

Breakaway, Since U Been Gone, Because of You, Stronger (That Which Doesn't Kill Us), Miss Independent (Kelly Clarkson) -- Who doesn't love Kelly Clarkson?

Safe in the Arms of Love, When God-Fearin' Women Get the Blues, This One's for the Girls (Martina McBride) -- Preach it, Martina!

Come to My Window, I'm the Only One (Melissa Ethridge) -- I like her music.  I'm not sure I spelled her name right, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now.  That laziness does not bode well for my running.

I Try to Think About Elvis, Here I Am, You Can Feel Bad, She Drew a Broken Heart, Timber...I'm Falling in Love (Patti Loveless) -- I love Patti Loveless.  She's old-school country.  And I'm old, so there.

Is There Life Out There, Fancy, The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia, Because of You (duet with Kelly Clarkson) (Reba McEntire) -- I couldn't include country music without songs by one of its queens.

Pride (In the Name of Love), With or Without You, Where the Streets Have No Name, One  (U2) -- I think every playlist needs something from U2.  But what do I know?  This is my first one.

Come to think of it, what song(s) should be on a good (running) playlist?  If anyone stumbles across ye old blog here and has a suggestion, please let me know.  I need all the help (and motivation) a girl can get.
