Running Mania

Posted: **Thu Feb 14, 2008 10:17 pm**

I have a very very wide range of music that I run to and always on shuffle.

When its -15C and wind chill is -25C on a long run nothing picks up my spirits more the Shabba! The sun starts to shine and all of a sudden it is warm (in my mind anyway)
Shabba Ranks - Rude Boy, Cocky Rim, Ting-A-Ling

I downloaded Flo Rida's "Elevator" today and it was great to run to- it has a good beat. I also threw 2Pac's "California Love" onto my list in honour of feeling warm, and it is going to be a permanent addition! It's the perfect tempo to run to- I think it was pretty close to a 180 cadence when I ran to the beat. I was singing to myself on the spit- it was pretty funny- "Shake it shake it baby..." :lol:

Robbie, you're right- reggae is awesome in this weather. I am going to throw some SHABBA! into my list too.

The perfect opportunity to say how much I like Sia.

I've said it before but I still think you look a lot like Lauren Ambrose, who is fittingly the "star" of this Sia video.

Makes me think I should check out six feet under...

Sia rocks

what a great topic!

i used to run to what i call "party music" stuff you'd hear at the bar and what not. I enjoyed it.

One day i went out for a run, and realized that i only had country music on my iPod , and was dissapointed since i only ran to "party music". I decided to go on, with my country music (and i love country...just didn't even think to run to it)....and it was the BEST run of my life. Hands down.

SOOO....now i only ever run to country...mostly keith urban, carrie underwood, rascall flatts, paul brandt, and a few others tossed in there. Even the slower songs......i absolutely love it!

Yup...180 on the nose...this is right up there as one of my favorite running tunes.
