Up and at 'em

I've been in sort of a winter funk. Haven't worked out, haven't spent much time outside, really haven't felt on top of my game. I can't remember the last time winter got me down so much. But the good news is, I think I've put those winter blues behind me (whether Provo decides to warm up or not)! I got back on the work-out wagon and after a week of depressing, barley-over-one-mile-before-I-think-I'm-going-to-die running, I'm back up to three mile stretches and registered for the Utah Valley half marathon in June. It is a ways from 3 miles to 13, but at least I'm back on track :)

So now I need some assistance. My running tunes have gotten old and I need some new ideas. I like really upbeat music when I work out (Shakira, Abba...you know, stuff that makes you want to move). What do you put on the iPod when you want to step it up?

Some of the "Run Lola Run" soundtrack is great, "That's Just What You Are" by Aimee Mann, "Comfort Eagle" by Cake, "Mas y Mas" - Christian Castro, "Close to Me" - The Cure, "Move on Up" - Curtis Mayfield, "Suffragette City" - David Bowie, "Feel Good Inc." - Gorillaz, "Jump Around" - House of Pain, pretty much anything by the Jackson 5, "Canned Heat" - Jamiroquai, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" - Michael Jackson, "Hey Ya!" - Outkast, "Canary in a Coalmine" - The Police, "I Am Superman" - R.E.M., "Beautiful Child" - Rufus Wainwright, "Persiana Americana" - Soda Stereo, "Do I Do" - Stevie Wonder, "Escape" - Enrique Iglesias.

I fear I've said too much.
