So you just gorged yourself on stuffing and mashed potatoes all weekend, and we’re in the season of holiday parties and cookies. To top it off, it’s dark and cold outside, and we are forced to run or walk on the treadmill. Working out this time of year is the WORST. All I want to do is go home after work and curl up on the couch with some carbs, not run on a box for 60 minutes. But, I do it anyways (most days). So what’s my motivation to pump out five miles on the treadmill? Well, my pants fitting. But more importantly, good songs! If I hear fun music that is new to my ipod, I am more likely to crank out more miles and a faster pace. Since my first post on songs to run to was so popular, I’ve been doing my research to bring you part two. So, without further ado, here they are. Enjoy! And happy running.

Melissa says
I TOTALLY agree with you on the Girl Talk. Sometimes his mixes are so funny that I laugh out loud on the treadmill – can’t beat that! He also has a previous album called Feed the Animals that is equally awesome. ๐
Deanna says
YES! Thanks for the suggestion! Love it.
