Let It Rock

These days, the iPod is everwhere... especially if you’re in the gym or on a local running route. There are some runners that prefer listening to the natural sounds around them or enjoying peace and quiet, but I'm the type of runner who can’t leave the house without music. If, god forbid, my iPod dies mid-run, you don't want to know me. Trust! I'm miserable. I need my music to motivate me, and at times, to even help me keep tempo on my runs.

Here’s a sampling of my running playlist:

1. Work That, Mary J. Blige
2. Lose Yourself, Eminem
3. Makes Me Wonder, Maroon 5
4. Disturbia, Rihanna
5. Paid My Dues, Anastacia
