Running Music

Chad and I have been trying to spend more time recently exercising. He started Cool Running's Couch to 5K plan at the beginning of the year, and encouraged me to start last week. I have been really needing some time to be alone and process life, so I decided to give it a try. We went to the park yesterday, and took turns running and watching the kids at the playground.

For a self-professed "non-runner," I am really enjoying this. It might have something to do with the way running makes me feel like I can escape life for a short time. I am finding that one of the keys to enjoying/surviving a run is having the right music. On my "to-do" list is to make a new running playlist, so I thought that I would ask for some recommendations. Any ideas?

i like listening to podcasts of family life today & focus on the family while i run & bike. if it's a great episode i get so wrapped up in it that i forget about the pain of running!

My family all makes fun of me because I'm like five years behind on good music. Fittingly, I will recommend the album by "The Fray" I think it's called "How to save a life." No idea if you own that or feel like buying, but here's why I recommend. Pretty much the whole album makes me want to run faster, or at least keep running. Something about the beat. There's a slow song at the end but I'm cooling down by then anyways. So there's my random suggestion. Glad to hear you're running!
