I wish I was a running purist, really, I wish I was. But the unfortunate truth is that I always have to have my music with me on runs. But lately I’ve been suffering from a severe case of IGSSOMRMIWTB. What? You’ve never hear of IGSSOMRMIWTB? Well it’s a very, very serious running complication and it stands for “I‘m Getting So Sick Of My Running Music I Want To Barf.” Medical professionals claim that four out of five runners suffer from this serious complication.
BUT…I have made a recent discovery that could possibly help cure IGSSOMRMIWTB. You!
So here’s what I propose: leave a comment with some of your best running jams. They can be indie, teeny bopper, or whatever, just list them out and I will create the ultimate running playlist that should (hopefully) cure all bouts of IGSSOMRMIWTB. I’ll then share the iTunes playlist with the world! But we need to get at least 20 songs on this playlist, so open up your iTunes and be sure to let me know which songs you would like to add to the list! GOOOOOOOOOO TEAM!
UPDATE: I just realized that Always A Reason to Run is doing the same thing as well, so be sure to check out her list of music for some inspiration too!
In other random news, I didn’t get in my 10 miles this morning because I didn’t get to bed until past midnight (which is waaaaaaaaaaaaay past my bedtime). Why was I out so late you ask? Well you know, Bruce Willis stopped by for a drink.
Ok, ok, I’ll admit that I felt like a total loser taking this photo, but I was at a work event for a new vodka brand that apparently Bruce Willis is co-owner of. Not really sure how or why, but Chicken and I wanted to go just to get out for a while. Plus, I got to hang out with my lovely friend Allison and her buddy who works for the CIA….or does he?
So 10 miles on the docket today; just crossing my fingers I can get off of work and back home in time to actually make it happen.
Happy Hump Day!
Metallica’s Motorbreath for the hills. A little old school speed metal, but it will make you go faster, especially the line “Don’t stop for nothing, it is full speed or nothing.”
Sexy Bitch [david.guetta]
Next 2 You [buck.cherry]
Can’t Touch It [ricki.lee]
Ready, Set, Go [tokio.hotel]

At ‘Always a Reason to Run’, she is doing a similar thing. Here’s the link. I recently grabbed Galvanize (Push the Button) – Chemical Brothers after stalking that post and it is by far my new favorite running song!
