Favorites from my Running Playlist

I love how easy it is to download music these days. Remember when you had to record the song off the radio or buy the tape--then take hours putting together your mix tape? I made a mix for Jared when we first started dating. The sign of my true devotion. I still love all those songs.

Anyway, here are 30 of my favorites for running. There are over 70 on my iPod but these probably have the best beat. After listening to some of them so many times while working out, my body is now conditioned to want to run when I hear them. Maybe I should set one of them for my alarm clock?
