I love running long distance - it gives me time to think, time to reflect, time to soak in my surroundings, time to appreciate the fresh air, and time to listen to my music.
A good playlist can determine the speed, length and mood of my run.
Here are my favorite songs to listen to when running or working out, and the ones I’ll be rocking out to this Sunday when I am running the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon. Enjoy!
