'My Playlist' from Lisa

Today Kim and I are running on our own, again, which happens from time to time. It actually is a nice break from routine, and knowing that I will have to run with her on another day helps keep me from slacking on the solo days. On alone days, it’s also nice to break out my old ipod mini and listen to music while I run.
It really is old (and pink!) and probably considered an antique by quite a few people now. It’s also taken a lot of abuse over the years. I’ve dropped it, broken my fall with it (very recently), taken it out in the rain, forgotten it, left it to freeze in cars overnight and generally neglected it after it lost its “new shiny toy” feel. But it still serves its purpose well and I enjoy creating playlists for my runs.
I do have a playlist that is pretty much my deepest, darkest secret (it involves some Britney Spears, and if that’s the artist I’m willing to reveal, you can only imagine the acts I have on there that I don’t want to tell you about) and I use it a lot. But I created a list recently that’s been working out really well, so I thought I’d share it.

Lisa's newest running playlist (though, most aren't new songs):
Grandaddy – Now It’s On
Bob Marley – Could You be Loved
Feist - 1234
The Dandy Warhols – Boys Better
The Ting Tings – That’s Not My Name
Sam Roberts – The Gate
Foo Fighters – I’ll Stick Around
Rise Against – The Good Left Undone
The Arcade Fire – Neighborhood #3
Led Zeppelin – Houses of the Holy
Modest Mouse - Float On
The Who - Baba O'Riley
The Bravery – Believe
Ok Go – Get Over It
The Stills - Being Here
The Black Keys – 10 a.m. Automatic


The songs probably could be ordered better, but I tend to jump from song to song
anyway.

Are there any songs that you really like to listen to when running?

My current playlist is MGMT "Oracular Spectacular" and Bloc Party "Silent Alarm" on shuffle, in my shuffle! It passes the time :)

I like MGMT, too! You better fill your ipod up for our solo runs tomorrow!
