First 10k of 2013 and My Running Mix

I know many of you are eager to hear the outcome of my half marathon back in November and I promise I have been working on my story. However, I never imagined it would be so difficult to express all the emotion and feeling I felt that day in to a few paragraphs. I'm not making any promises but I hope to finally be able to share the post with you by the end of the month. But, today I am sharing some of my music inspiration with you. I've had several people ask me what music I listened to when running. You're in luck...today I'm sharing my 10k running mix with you!

Tomorrow I'm running my first race of 2013! The Cherry Blossom Road Race and even though there's a chance of rain I can't wait to get out there on the road. It's hard to believe it's been almost 5 months since I ran my half. I needed a break but I'm beyond ready to get back in my monkey feet on a more regular basis. I'll post some pictures of race day on Monday.

My running mix is ever growing but for shorter races this is my go to. I use Spotify because it's cheaper than buying every song and I can use it on my phone. If you haven't heard of it you should check it out! I know several people who can run with any kind of music. Me, well, I'm a little picky side. I know, who would've thought? :) I have to have upbeat/fun music, but I always include a few songs that inspire me as well. Here are some of my top favorites and the mix I will be running to tomorrow!
