My very, very, very favorite is Emimem's Lose Yourself. When I download songs, I also think of my favorite songs and search for a speed remix of it or mixes with other songs. I love running to those.

Goals: Maintain 120 beat 5k time: 25:52 beat 10k time: 55:48 Complete one half-marathon-Jan. 10th

Good suggestion of the remixes! And I really do like that song, too...not a huge Eminem fan, but I think that is probably my favorite tune of his. k

I think three songs that are great for running are: Cake-- Going the Distance Chevelle-- Send the Pain Below Survivor-- Eye of the Tiger Brad

Oh, you should see my iTunes library...there is some truly geeky stuff on there. I recently downloaded a Blue Man Group album and LOVE it! Also good for running to, for the most part. Smile
