So after looking around and listening to most every song I can think of that would “juice me up” while running I have finally narrowed it down to the following list. I know, of course, everyone has their own taste in music and maybe you think mine is a little different from yours, but when Im running and trying to keep my pace up this is definitely the playlist that keeps me going and going and going!

In the hard work that is keeping fit, we all need every piece of help we can get – music included.

Its not really in any particular order other than my own attempt at organizing the Warm Up/Heat Up/Cool Down sections. I have a few remixes in the list as the original just didn’t cut it for me. I hope this helps you though, and if you have any suggestions for me/anyone else, by all means add your song(s) to the comments!
