I recently started doing the
Couch to 5k. A friend of mine had told me about this several months ago, but I put off starting it, partly because of the heat and partly because I wasn't sure I could do it. Finally after feeling antsy (running seems to help when I am feeling this way) I determined that I would give it a go. The first time I went out, I knew it was very doable for me. I loved the training plan. I love how it gradually builds. I have tried running in the past and have never stuck with it. Having a plan makes it so much easier to stick with it. I feel like I am accomplishing something.
Okay, so to the point of why I am writing this...
When I run I like to take my MP3 player with me. It helps to pass the time to have something to listen to. The problem is right now I feel like I keep listening to the same songs over and over. So I want to put a question out there to all you who exercise...what is on your playlist? I am looking for some more upbeat running type music. I listen mostly Christian music, so if you know of any upbeat Christian music that would be great...but I am open to all types of suggestions.
I am excited to see you're doing this program! I've thought about it several times and would love to try it out :)
ReplyDeleteI have a couple song suggestions for you! Even if you don't use them to run they are all very happy, pick me up tunes!
Beautiful - Sarah Sadler (the first few seconds are a little weird but after that it's very upbeat)
Magic - Rabbit
Life is Sweet - Rabbit
Light Outside - Wakey!Wakey! (One of my favorite inspirational songs)
Forever - Chris Brown (not always a fan of pop or rap, but love the beat!)
Send Me On My Way - Rusted Root
5 years time - Noah & the Whale
Off the top of my head - sing, sing, sing by stephen curtis chapman.
ReplyDeletesongs by david crowder band are usually upbeat. also, i really like the song glorious day right now. hope that helps! :)
