Because I was severely under-trained for my 30K trail race yesterday, I developed a running playlist of songs that I hoped might help me power through. On the last 2.5-mile uphill slog, this list definitely helped:

1. We No Speak Americano, Yolanda Be Cool & Dcup
2. Beautiful Day, U2
3. Just Can’t Get Enough, Depeche Mode
4. Around the World (la la la la La), A Touch of Class
5. Pompeii, Bastille
6. Heat of the Moment, Asia
7. Stacy’s Mom, Fountains of Wayne
8. Boom Boom Pow, The Black Eyed Peas
9. Pour Some Sugar On Me, Def Leppard
10. Low, Flo Rida (feat. T-Pain)
11. Without Me, Eminem
12. Dynamite, Taio Cruz
13. Little Talks, Of Monsters and Men
14. Wake Me Up, Avicii
15. Say Hey (I Love You), Michael Franti & Spearhead (feat. Cherine Anderson)
16. Glad You Came, The Wanted
17. SexyBack, Justin Timberlake (feat. Timbaland)
18. Timber, Pitbull ((feat. Ke$ha)

Because I borrowed liberally from other folks’ running playlists, I thought I would share this list, in case you’re wandering around the web, searching for music inspiration for a tough run. This list comprises about 67 minutes of music. I’m on the lookout for some good stuff to extend it a few more hours.
