It’s a new playlist for 2010

So I haven’t done this in a while and I thought I’d share some of the new music I’ve been listening to lately.   I have to admit that with all the running I’ve been doing lately I’ve started to add podcasts into the mix.  I won’t go too much into that in this post but suffice to say there is a wealth of really interesting and entertaining podcasts available out there for free download.  Maybe I’ll make that my next post….

Hmm.. anyways, here’s the music I’ve been rocking out to recently on my 10k tempo runs:

1. Three Little Birds – Bob Marley (This song helps me clear my head, get positive and get into the mood to run)

2. Let’s Get It Started – Blackeyed Peas (When this song comes on, it’s easy for me to get pumped up for the miles that lay ahead)

3. Young Forever – Jay-Z ft. Mr Hudson (blah blah blah something about living in the moment blah blah blah.  Jay-z takes a whimpy 80′s ballad and makes it cool)

4. Let’s See How Far We’ve Come – Matchbox 20 (A favorite from last year.  It reminds of the final weeks before my first triathlon)

5. One Day – Matisyahu (Inspiring song from a very unique artist.  Always make me feel positive)

6. Miley Cyrous – Hath Banger (Miley Cyrus and Notorious BIG?  Why not!?)

7.  Bad Romance  – Lady Gaga (Ok, i’ll admit, I love the GaGa.  Don’t take my man card away)

8.  Hitchhiker Joe – The Rugburns (Now that I’m about halfway through the run I need something to make me laugh and this fun tune from one my favorite obscure bands does the trick)

9. Uprising – Muse (I saw these guys in concert recently and they opened with this song.  Gets me psyched for the last leg of the run)

10. Turn the Page – Metallica (If you have this playing on your iPod you instantly become about 20% more manly.  Women, this may or may not apply to you.  Use caution)

11. Sinnerman – Nina Simone (Oh wow, the run’s almost done.  Time to turn on the afterburners and finish strong with this uptempo blues piece.)

*WARNING* if your feet burn off due to this playlist being so awesome, don’t blame me.
