After I created this I thought, it would be fun to do a run to other variations. Decades, Genres, Etc. Maybe for another race.
[Note: if you create your own mile by mile playlist you'll want to build in buffer songs. I usually go with mostly 3 songs under each mile. That way if you aren't feeling it, you can skip ahead without running out of music. I also test out the songs, you NEVER want to change things up too much for race day. If it ain't broke don't fix it, right? So I don't go with new songs unless I've had a chance to test them out in a prior training run.]

Love it!!! I am going to get some new tunes fo sure. That is once we find a new job. I love your playlist idea. Again, I haven't heard some of these so I'm looking forward to hearing some fresh music. You rock Gen!
ReplyDeleteI was just putting my list together the other night. We have a lot of the same songs. I'm so glad bossy made it on your list too. Instead of pretty boy by dainty Kane I went with damaged. I don't have waking up in Vegas or telephone but I need to get them. Good luck! Make sure to call me after, if not before.
ReplyDeletePs great title. R. Kelly, eh.
ReplyDeleteSome of those songs I haven't heard of so I will be looking those up. Good luck on Sunday, I will be thinking about you!!!! :) What time does it start?
