This was the playlist for my half marathon. I wanted to post it in order so I could make commentary on songs that really helped me when I was struggling and stuff, but my blackberry started the playlist over at the beginning when I tried to look. So I put it roughly in order- the first few songs are right, and the last 10 songs were the last 10, and the middle ones were the middle, but this isn’t the exact order they played.
A Loss For Words “I Want You Back”
Butch Walker “The Weight of Her”
Jason Derulo “In My Head”
The Movielife “Hey”

Basically my goal was that every song would get me so pumped that I couldn’t bear to stop and walk while it was playing (at least, not walk any more than I was already planning and scheduling to walk.)
I briefly considered just playing “Peacock” on a loop for two and a half hours and running the whole thing to that, since it’s by far my favorite running song, but that seemed ridiculous even for me. I’m not going to lie, I expected “My Body” to be a good motivating song but I got super super bummed when it came on towards the end. I needed some peppy pop punk and just having the words in the chorus of that song to drive me was not enough. That one dud aside, this was a pretty solid running playlist for me.
