Love! New songs, make my feet GO!

Anna

Love so many of the songs on this playlist. Do you always listen to music when you run?

And just a heads up, #12 is reversed – name of the song is Anna Sun and the band is Walk the Moon. Definitely was a song I listened to on repeat for a while (and not just because it has my name in it 😉

Thanks so much Anna! And LOL on the name. I knew that didn’t seem right. It is a new song to me. Can you tell? Ha! I do almost always listen to music when I run. But because music (ear buds) is not allowed at Hood to Coast or any triathlons, I do try to run some without music every once in a while to get me prepared for running without it. Mentally, music helps me push through and be stronger.

Great playlist! I’m always looking for new songs and I’m loving the old ones with the new 🙂

Whitney

I am so glad someone else is listening to Miley Cyrus too! It’s my guilty iPod pleasure.

Sarah

Miley Cyrus we can’t stop is totally working for me right now! I instantly have to dance and sing when I hear it! I love when it comes on when I’m running!!
