Re: favorite running song?
I don't know who sings it, but that song, "She's going the distance, going for speeeed" always gets me focused and reminds me to just move my legs a little longer and longer until I cross the finish line.
Also, I'm a country girl so I turn the radio to a station that plays older country (I love Dolly Parton's "why'd ya come in here?") so I can sing along, well, sing in my head anyway. So maybe you could pick out any nostalgic station and you never know when an "oldy but goody" will pop up and get your mind off the knee pain!
