Playlist alert! This week’s post is a fun one! For those of you who like to run with music, I have a playlist that I started in 2009 for my first Boston Marathon when I got my first iPod nano. It was my second marathon ever, and the first I had trained for and run with my mentor so I was used to having someone to talk to. I was terrified of running 26.2 miles by myself and thought an awesome playlist would get me through it. Anything that got my blood pumping, motivated me, emotionally moved me, or just had a good beat. I named it Adrenaline and my love affair with running to music was born.
I added to this playlist over the years, and its been on three subsequent iPod nanos (you lose a few, spill gatorade on few) since! It got me through runs around Kandahar Airfield and the Prague Marathon to name a few. It is PLENTY long enough to get you through a marathon! I will warn you though, songs that were popular in 2009 are still on here but there are also some from the 80s, 90s, you name it. I will also warn you that I like to run to metal, rock, and techno more than anything else, but there is still an eclectic mix!
So whether you want a few laughs or a few suggestions here it is! Alphabetical order, band name, song name, and length. All 155 of them!
