Recently I have returned to doing some of my runs with music. I was on a nice 6 month kick of running with no music, but went into a really bad slump. I tried many different tactics in order to get me back to just running and not over thinking, but nothing was working. My last resort was to turn to music. I had previously ran with music on, but started to hear horror stories of runners getting hit by cars and to be honest it kind of scared me. Now when I run with music I try to pick a course with little or no cars and I run toward the traffic so I can see what is going on in front of me. Maybe it is in my mind, but ever since I went back to the music I have started running better. I now don’t focus on the run as much, instead I am listening to the words being sung in my ears.
I thought I would share some of the songs on my playlist that I like to listen to while I am running. You will see that I like all different types of music and tend to not just choose one genre.
Thousand Foot Krutch- Untraveled Road
Hellyeah- Hush
All That Remains- For You
Common and John Legend- Glory
Burning Yesterday- Won’t Back Down
Escape the Fate- We Won’t Back Down
Rise Against- Help Is On the Way

This is just a few of my favorite on my list, if you have time I suggest checking some of the songs out. Some of them are really fast, and hard and will get you pumped up. Feel free to send me some of your favorites so I can add them on to my playlist.
