Running Music

running

My 5k race is next Saturday, but I'm running a mock 5k race as soon as Thursday.  It's time I start thinking about a strong running playlist.

I'll make the mix twenty songs long, and I'll pick the twenty tunes from this list of songs in my collection featuring the word "run" or "running" in the title.  There are more songs than this with those terms, but I'll prune my list from these finalists.

Look for the final 20 song running megamix later in the week.  The final 20 have to refer to running and have to be good.
