Re: favorite running song?
Two of my favs are New Year's Day by U2 and Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult. When these come on my IPod, I get fired up and run stronger. Didn't think about Rob Thomas' This is How a Heart Breaks but love it and will add to list. I like Steppin' Out by Joe Jackson, too. Run to You by Bryan Adams.

Re: favorite running song?
I don't know if anyone has ever listened to Tears For Fears, but ****. Any of their songs work for running. They have a good rhythm.

Re: favorite running song?
My faves of late:
"Get low" -yingyang twins and lil jon (radio version, the real version is kind of gross)
"Everlasting love" Gloria Estevan
"Mr. Lover" Shaggy

Just yesterday I put them on my mp3 and I was singing out loud (out of tune and breathless) along the way today.

I love running to Cake "The Distance". That's one of my favorites. I also like almost anything AC/DC.

Re: favorite running song?
I'm an indie rock and indie rap fan.

When I'm at a low-energy point in my run or just want to motivate myself to go a few more minutes, I'll put on Talib Kweli's "Get By." By the time it's over, I usually just want to keep running. It's one of the few songs in my playlist that I haven't grown tired off and kicked off the playlist over the months.

My running playlist also has "This Year" by the Mountain Goats and songs by Spoon, Mos Def, The Roots, The Streets, and The Walkmen
