My Playlist!

I know i am so far behind on pictures so don't worry (Aimee) they will be up soon. I am in the process of switching computers so when i get that all figured out I will be back on track. In the mean time I will share with you my new playlist. I am training myself to run a 5K in October and I know it doesn't seem like a big deal to most of you reading this but it is a HUGE deal to me. I have learned something about myself though.....my music totally manipulates me!! If i don't have the right music my feet just won't move!! Since I finally figured that out I realized I needed to make a running playlist to get me motivated. I have picked some songs to get me started (I am open to suggestions from all my amazing runner friends...and of course from my non runner friends too!). Here it is...

1. (Oh)Pretty Woman (The Van Halen version) just because i like the song and it has a good beat.
2. Come Together (Third Day)
3. Life is a Highway (Rascal Flatts version) ....Love this song and it is great for running!
4. Holding Out For a Hero (the workout version)...i find i start running really fast when this song comes on!
5. Long Day (Matchbox 20)...not only a great song but I used to listen to this album a lot in college and it reminds me of GREAT times
6. Real World (Matchbox 20)
7. 3AM (Matchbox 20)
8. Don't Stop Believing (Journey) ..I need a little pick me up about this time in my run and this song is great for that!
9. Only Wanna Be With You (Hootie and the Blowfish)...Again, love this song and saw my share of Hootie concerts back in the day!!
10. Tubthumping (The Hit Crew)...yes, you can laugh but the words "I get knocked down, but I get up again" do wonders when I want to stop and throw up from running.
11. Mmmmbop (Hanson)....even better memories!! ;)
12. Boston (Five Way Friday)...my favorite band ever!!
13. She Walks (Five Way Friday)....seriously, if i was ever stranded on an island and could only listen to one band for the rest of my life it would be them!
14. Astray (Five Way Friday)
15. Suspicious Minds (The King!)...great song!!
16. Summer of 69' (Bryan Adams)
17. I've Always Loved You (Third Day)...might be my favorite Third Day song
18. Livin On a Prayer (Bon Jovi)...if i am still running at this point it is only because I am livin on a prayer!!
19. Like a Child (Jars of Clay)....another great song with great youth ministry memories!!

so there ya have it...
