June 2016 TSATS Running Playlist

Rejoice! It’s Global Running Day!

I could tell you about my training, all of the miles (or non-miles) I’ve logged lately, or blab on about all the reasons I love running. You know I’d be the first to sign the petition to make this day an official holiday, requiring all workplaces to pause all operations purely to celebrate running. But sadly that day is not yet a reality…the horror!

Until then, I thought I’d share my running partner in crime. My “runners-don’t-dope-but-this-is-my-dope” secret. My power boost, my Red Bull, my permanent, race day “Chuck Norris Never Ran A Marathon” sign. It’s worth every penny and has my soul on a subscription lock-down.

Spotify.

(And no, this is not an ad or a sponsored post. Can’t a girl just gush?)

If you’re wondering if a premium Spotify account is worth the monthly fee the answer is simple. Yes. It’s worth all 999 pennies. If you can handle the ads, go with the free version and cherish your skips like it’s your fifth-grade allowance.

So to celebrate National Running Day, I thought I’d kick off the first of a monthly running playlist series. Introducing the June 2016 TSATs Running Playlist, a collection of jams that keep my feet moving and my mind distracted. This month’s highlights? “Entertain Us” by Benny Cassette for a dose of reality, and if you want to know how I manage my personal finances, listen to “$ave Dat Money” by Lil Dicky (pro tip: watch the “$ave Dat Money” music video for pure rap comedy gold).

Now get out there and run (and leave your playlist suggestion in the comments).
