Since we're on the topic of exercise (haha Nik), it got me thinking about music.

I hate running without music playing. When I took the infamous Civil War trail tumble, I shredded the cord on my favorite pair of Bose headphones and grumbled for the last four miles. Music gives me that extra boost I need to do it to it!

The running playlist is pretty long so it doesn't repeat all the time, but here is what's playing at the moment:

Bombers Over Ibiza (Junkie XL remix) - From the Dark Knight Rises Soundtrack
Fear Will Find You - From the Dark Knight Rises Soundtrack
Why Do We Fall? - From the Dark Knight Rises Soundtrack
Master and Slave - Cherry Poppin' Daddies
Green Light - John Legend feat. Andre 3000
Mr. Brightside - The Killers
When You Were Young - The Killers
Somebody Told Me - The Killers
Smooth Criminal - Alien Antfarm (covering the King of Pop of course)
You're Never Over - Eminem
Medicine Ball - Eminem
Hell Breaks Loose - Eminem and Dr. Dre
Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
Power - Kanye West
Bodies - Drowning Pool
Spy - Tait
Miss California - Melissa Etheridge
On Yer Bike! - Kevin Max
Return of the Singer - Kevin Max
La Bouche - Be My Lover
Quasimodo - Lifehouse
Real McCoy - Another Night
Pink - So What?
Metal Gear Saga - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Soundtrack
Rent a Cop - Ben Folds
Eight Easy Steps - Alanis Morrisette
Black Market - Battlestar Galactica Season 3 Soundtrack
The Pretender - Foo Fighters
Whatever She Wants - Jars of Clay

I am always looking for new things to listen to, so what tunes do YOU like when you're exercising?

Me too! My elementary school aged boys hate that I like but I lurves it, even if it makes me feel like a creeper.

I use jog.fm to get song ideas based on my pace.

But I will say one song I get a workout from just cuz I love to dance to it is "Shots" by LMFAO. It's like I can't control myself!

Ooh, that's a good idea. I haven't used jog.fm and that would be a cool way to find new things.

Nothing embarrassing about any of the tunes you guys mention! Admittedly I pretend I'm Batman running to save the city when I have the Dark Knight songs on.

Well, my teachers always said I had a vivid imagination.
