When Carbs Aren’t Enough, Good Music Can Feed a Great Run

Most Days, the sound of my footsteps combined with the noise left in my head as I leave my rambunctious household behind is all the music I need to power a good run. However, since I am currently training for a marathon, the longer distances have me wanting the company of some good tunes.

This has forced me to spend some time organizing some of my oldies but goodies into play lists. I have also discovered new artists that will hopefully energize my early-morning training runs.

Below is a list of some of my favorites. If you want to hear them, you can access the list on iTunes.  Hopefully, some of you will share your running tunes. Happy listening…..and running!

(I also had on my list "Matches to Paper Dolls" by Dessa. For some reason it would not publish on my iTunes list.)
