Marathon playlist

“Drafting” songs for my playlist. One that I’m certain will make the cut “Pony” by Ginuwine.

I should note that it is my 2nd favorite Ginuwine song, “In those jeans” will always be my favorite.

I will be putting my chosen songs in a specific order, no shuffle on race day!

New Music Source!

I don’t know about you guys, but I listen to music all day at work and then usually listen to music while running or working out. During the work day I usually stuck to Pandora or Grooveshark and then for working out I almost exclusively use my itunes. Now don’t get me wrong I have a pretty stellar itunes collection and a ton of bad ass playlists, but I get bored. 

In November I was visiting a friend and as we were getting ready she put on music for us to get ready too (yes even at 30 you do that). She used songza to play a playlist. I thought it was cool, but forgot all about it until I was back visiting over Christmas and we used it. I’m obsessed.

First off songza is 100% commerical free in terms of audio, there are adds on the site, but I usually don’t even look at that tab. You log in and there is a dashboard where based on the day of the week/time it asks you your mood and then gives you some options of music. Examples of that playlist I’ve listened to the past week at work:

  • contemporary blue eyed soul 
  • golden age of boybands
  • acoustic versions of pop songs

I also ran with my phone as opposed to my ipod the other day (because it was dead) and instead of the music on my phone or pandora I used Songza and listened to a FANTASTIC  "jock jamz" playlist. 

Songza check it – you can thank me later 😛

New Tunes from a Special Dude

Totally digging the new single from David Cook. He’s performing it on American Idol this Thursday.

I get to have lunch with David and his charity team on Saturday before the ABC2 Race for Hope 5K this Sunday (my 4th one).

Check out his brand new song here: http://www.davidcookofficial.com/

And in case you’ve forgotten David Cook is my running motivation – this man has gotten me to run, then run a 5K, and then run a freaking marathon. I do my charity running with ABC2 as part of his charity team in honor of my Dad. 

It’d me a lot to me if you check out his new song and then if you like it, buy it on itunes or request it at your local radio station.
