Running Music: My Play List for the Maui Marathon

For those of you who read my post yesterday, I know I was procrastinating on this easy task of making a play list. Really, what could be so hard? You just need to move songs from your collection into the Marathon Play List. Easy, right? Not really. I overanalyze at times and I really do think about my frame of mind, my adrenaline rushes or plummets, and the beat of the song. I also strategically place certain songs in certain points of time for a particular reason. It could be to lift me up and get me moving or to calm me down and keep me focused. So what did I decide upon?

Dad, I always run with you in mind

Here it is in all of its long, drawn out glory. Songs were selected and organized by their beat or just by how they make me feel. Some songs were added for warm, fuzzy childhood memories such as "I Love a Rainy Night". I just remember being in the car as a child and it was raining and my Dad was enjoying the song. And just because a list of songs can be a wee bit dull, I added a few photos too!
