Power of music... Just not while I'm running:)


Lots of people run with music. I don't but we all have songs that we listen too that inspires us. I've been told I clearly run in my sleep. (I aperantly fall often too)! So when I'm listening to music on the train, of course I think about the run! So I thought I would share my before race and everyday list. Plus it probably shows an in-depth look into my psyche. 
Number 1 is, Chandelier by Sia. I know it has the little girl from dance moms, but that's not why. The words actually remind me about my past. It's about her addiction problems and drinking too much. When I listen too it I remember those days, waking up feeling like ass. Drinking the pain away and then in the morning dealing with the problems again. Which leads to morning beers. When I run (sometimes) I feel like I'm flying so it reminds me to just keep going. Puke from a hard run, not from bad beer!
Number 2, Out of the Woods by Taylor Swift. I know I'm way to old for her music but finally she came came over to pop and it's awesome! Love that girl. This song reminds me of my ex situation and how I feel I'm still stuck in it. Many days when I start my run from work, I feel like I'm running away from him. After all this time, I always ask myself are we finally out of the damn woods yet? He's one of the reasons I started running and still continues to motivate... Still!
Number 3- Take on Me by A-ha. I know, random! This one is pretty obvious. I race, take me on bitches! No back story, just run fat girl, run song!
Number 4- Running up that Hill by Placebo. Another obvious one. Run up the damn hill big butt! Plus you have to get over the hill in life too. We all have stuff we are trying to overcome. It can stand for so many things. Mine is my food issues and smoking. Mainly food issues. It's an everyday struggle. 
Number 5- 99 problems by Jay-Z. Hova!!! My favorite song! I got 99 problems and a better split time is one! Hit me! It's the perfect pre race song. Gets you in the zone!
Number 6- Midnight city by M83. All about Paris! Love that song. One of my favorite bands and clearly I'm a little obsessed with the city of love!
So those are the songs on April 12 I'll be listening too in athletes village... Under the Arc de Triumph!! 2 months!!!
