We definitely have eclectic choices in music - if you had compared our collections before we got married you'd wonder where the similarities were...
My playlist is comprised mostly of rock of all varieties: Pearl Jam, U2, Offspring, Hard-Fi, Linkin Park, etc. I've lowered my standards to have some music that I will only ever run to: ahem, Britney Spears.
Colin's is much more diverse than mine: Brad Paisley, Eminem, Glee Soundtrack, Skillet. He's also more judicial about his choices. He's got one or two songs by each artist whereas I have almost full albums by some - it's not really my fault that Pearl Jam's last album is great running music.
We did have a good laugh over the titles/lyrics of a couple of songs:
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" - U2
"Get Through This" - Art of Dying
"Never Surrender" - Skillet
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna feel better
Stay with me here
And never surrender
I did tell Colin that he was not allowed to put The Barenaked Ladies' "Too Little, Too Late" on my playlist after he joked that it should be the song that was playing just after my goal time passed...
Yesterday wasn't half as tough as this time
This time isn't Hell,
Last time, I couldn't tell
This mind wasn't well
Next time, hope I'm...
Going to be good, and I would -
If I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait -
Or is it too little too late?

T-minus 4 days...
I always go into making a playlist with specific kinds of songs for a race..lose interest and then through whatever song on there I can find.
ReplyDelete....4 days....wow!
4 days, so exciting
ReplyDeleteand good reminder, I need to start working on my playlist
You're right, making a playlist is hard. I'm sure it's going to be perfect thought. 4 days! EEK!
ReplyDeleteHey guys! Love the fact that you're running to our song!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big runner too (well not marathons) but 6miles a few times a week.
Good luck and keep in touch.

5 hours is a lot ... I had trouble for 30 minutes for a 5k - here's the list and how I found the beats per minute.
ReplyDeleteUm...rock on!
ReplyDeleteUmmm...where's the Abba?!?!?

I usually have a ton of songs so I can just skip whatever I don't feel like listening to.
ReplyDeleteI know this comment comes a little late so I don't know if you'll get it, but when making my play list for labour, one recommendation was "ring of fire" by Johnny Cash. Great idea, huh?
ReplyDeleteNope! Didn't include that one!
