Bonus points to the first one of y’all to identify the song that title is from! Soooo I am looking for music suggestions for my marathon playlist. I’ll share what songs I currently have and please add some tips. My sweet friend Stefanie gifted me an iTunes gift card so I can create a new playlist (and also suggested Eye of the Tiger — great song!) and I plan to do just that!
I already have some popular songs on my playlist, like Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”, Katy Perry’s “Roar”, etc. But I’d love to hear what you are listening to now that really pump’s you up! I’m mostly interested in fun, upbeat songs that make me feel like this:
So, hook a girl up and let me know what I should add to my marathon playlist!
What’s your GO TO song right now?
I have a very eclectic mix on my playlists but a few of my favorites are Lump and a remake of Video Killed the Radio Star (Presidents of the United States of America), All the Small Things (Blink 182), I Wanna Be Sedated (Ramones), Here It Goes Again (OK Go) and Bezerk (Eminem). Good luck with the marathon.

Thanks Chrissy for sharing!
“Let it Rock”, “Got Money” and a more recent “Phoenix” are a few that were on my most recent half marathon list. “Applause” was pretty decent too, even though I had doubts at first that it would pump me up.

Berzerk/Eminem
Wrecking Ball/Miley Cyrus
Holy Grail/Jay Z
Give It 2 U/Robin Thicke
No matter how tired I am, when Robin Thicke comes on, I can push just a little further 🙂
