I've got rhythm....

In my opinion one of the most important parts of my run is my playlist, seriously!
Music is such a huge motivator while I am running and can make things so much easier, it can be from the lyrics, the beat, what it makes me think of.... so I am going to share with you my carefully selected playlist and why I chose these songs.....
1. Lose Yourself - Eminem.When I am listening to this song running, I picture myself punching the air as I run, rocky style, it makes me feel like a tough bad ass.
2. Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye. I dedicate this song to all the arseholes guys I have wasted my time on until this point in my life. God, thinking about all these wankers and how much they are going to rue the day they ever fucked me over, what more do I need to run harder? I am even hitting the keys harder typing right now.... ARGH!
3. Fighter - Christina Aguilera. This is my theme song (in my head) "I am a fighter, I aint gonna stop, there is no turning back". Enough said.
4. Sweet Dreams - Marilyn Manson. Weird choice, I know, but when it cuts loose it makes me feel a little bit crazy and keeps me going. And not only that but it makes me think of everyone who doesn't take me seriously and thinks I am a bit of a joke and to them I say "I'll show you, tools!". And it has a crazy beat!
5. Future Starts Slow - The Kills. Mad beat for running too. Drums are what does it. And the title is very appropriate, I think.
6. Since You've Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson. I dedicate this song to one particular arse hole. This is the person who made me uncomfortable about my weight in the first place and 5 years later still thinks he has the right to comment on what I need to do to get where I want to be. Not that I am doing ANY of this for him, but thinking about him makes me so frustrated I run harder. Good enough for me.
7. Parlez Vous Francais - Art vs. Science. Rad beat to this song that I can run in time too. Fantastic running song, get on it!!!
8. Single Ladies - Beyonce. Just makes me want to dance and jump around. Makes me feel energetic, which is kind of a benefit when you're running, in case you didn't know. And also, thinking of JT dancing to this song in a leotard is a great, funny distraction to take my mind of running.
9. Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard. This is without a doubt, the sexiest song I have ever heard. If this song doesnt make you want to dance suggestively in small clothes I dont know what will and the image of being able to dance like I do in my head when this song is on makes me want to lose the weight even more, not that I think I would ever actually dance like that.... hahahaha!
10. Your Love Is My Drug - Kesha. Now let's get one thing straight, I am not really a Kesha fan but this is a damn good running song. The beat makes me move and that is the bottom line here!
11. Banquet - Bloc Party. This song is, without a doubt, the best song to run to there is. And for only 1 reason... The beat. It is incredible. I can run in time to the beat and pound the track so hard and it just keeps me going. There is no other song I love listening to when I run more than this one and if anyone ever asked me the best running song, I wouldnt hesitate. Download it. Now!
12. Rolling In The Deep - Adele. Again, the beat. THe lyrics arent really relevant to me in any way that comes to mind to motivate me to run but the beat is nice and steady. I also know all the words so I can sing in my head to distract myself.
13. Paper Planes - MIA. just a great song. nice 'BANG BANG BANG' beat to keep you going, easy to run to.
14. Stronger - Britney Spears. I am stronger than yesterday, and I'm not going to give up, and I AM going to work harder. You said it Britney, you said it.
15. Some Nights - Fun. This such a great, fast paced song. It is really great to run to because of its quick tempo. Good one.
16. Mind Your Manners - Chiddy Bang. Defo the most random of my song lyrics and I have to credit my brother in law for this one cos I randomly heard it when he was playing it in the car the other day. "There is no one like me...' Damn straight!!!!!!! quickly climbing to the top of my running list....
I just LOVE this song.

Download, Play, Run, Enjoy xx
