4K Run Playlist

Tonight's songs featured a number of Glee and American Idol songs. A year ago, I would have been ashamed. Not now. I have no shame! Also, Casey James and James Durbin, hello?

So here's what inspired me to keep going tonight:

1. Don't Panic, by Coldplay (I have my towel...)
2. Mrs. Robinson, by Casey James
3. No Air, by Jordin Sparks and some guy (Chris Brown, maybe?)
4. Let My Love Open the Door, by Pete Townsend
5. Question, by The Old 97s
6. You're The Storm, by the Cardigans
7. Dog Days Are Over, by Florence + the Machines
8. Take A Bow, from the Glee soundtrack
9. All By Myself, by Pia Toscano
10. Living For the City, by James Durbin

3.5K Playlist for 6-22-11

Tough run tonight, but here's the Playlist that got me through. This Playlist brought to you by an eduring sense of hope:

1. Will You Still Love Me, by James Durbin
2. Map of the Problematique, by Muse (Why can't they see that when we bleed we bleed the same?)
3. Mrs. Robinson, by Casey James
4. Turn Out the Light, by The New Amsterdams
5. Black Sheep, by Metric (From Scott Pilgrim vs. the World)
6. Rain King, by The Counting Crows
7. Hope For the Hopeless, A Fine Frenzy
8. You Got Another Thing Coming, by James Durbin
9. Let My Love Open the Door, by Sondre Lerche
10. Dancing Queen, from Mamma Mia

Tonight's Playlist brought to you by the Apocalypse

Perhaps in honor of Simon Pegg's visit to Austin's best book store, Book People, tomorrow night, my C25K playlist served up a number of bleak, post-apocalyptic tunes. It's on random!

Here they are:

1. Rain King - Counting Crows (Only because it was a song in my post-apocalyptic fanfic)
2. Star Mile - Josh Radin
3. Poker Face - Lady Gaga (her wardrobe is post-apocalyptic?)
4. Closer to the Edge - by James Durbin
5. Where Is My Mind? - The Pixies
6. Uncle Mountain - The Fire Theft
7. Useless Desires - Patty Griffin (could be about a post-apocalyptic town?)
8. No One's Gonna Love You - Band of Horses (from the Zombieland soundtrack)
9. Panic in the Streets of London - Morrisey (from Shaun of the Dead)
10. Don't Go Breakin' My Heart - Elton John and Kikki Dee (because the song's so upbeat, even zombies would have to get up and dance.)

So that's it for the running playlist. This starts my 6th week in training. 5k, here I come!
