working on the treadmill i listen to my ipod.
i have not yet set a playlist.
way to much to choose from, and if ya havent noticed by now, im a little scared of any kind of commitment.
i know. lame.
so on my warm up and cool down i try to keep it a bit slow.
earth wind and fire, bob marley, sublime, cat stevens, lauryn hill, ccr, james taylor, bjork, fugees, you get the gist.
during my workout, i like it loud and hard.
kid rock, dr. dre, eminem, green day, michael jackson, rage against the machine, snoop, tribe called quest, tupac, etc.
my question for you is...
what inspires you during your workout?
every song that i listen to really brings back memories.
im ready for some new ones.

Hmm.. have been thinking about this for a few days while I run and listen to my iPod, v interesting question!
In terms of "inspiring", there's one song I always find inspiration in - "I Run for Life" by Melissa Etheridge. It's written in honor of a breast cancer run when she had the disease, and it always reminds me that I run so I CAN live and not be dragged down by weight and my asthma. good song.
In terms of fun, I just downloaded a bunch of new stuff! But I love anything that's 80's and cheesy and makes me want to sing out loud while I run, like Walking on Sunshine, St. Elmo's Fire or Jesse's Girl.. (I refuse to admit that I have Ice Ice Baby and the Spice Girls on my iPod, though...)
And there's the angry hairband music, like everything by Motley Crue, Poison, Van Halen or my fave, Kid Rock.
Try "Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry, "Bleed It Out" by Linkin Park or "Boom!" by POW. It'll get your heartrate up.
Good luck!!
thanks lindsay, and the kiddos all got their valentine cards in the mail today. thank you very much. mary also loves her birthday presents. the dora watch usually goes on her ankle, lol. and her jewelry box was a big hit, crammed with everything... possibly some jewelry too...
The best workout song ever: Jesus Built My Hotrod (Ministry).
I also like In The Mood (G. Miller) as a warm up song.
