My groovin' tunes!

I have mentioned before that I rarely or never wear my IPOD when I am running outside. The main reason for this is safety, but also because I find any brand of headphone to be annoying. They NEVER stay in my ears and I spend more time and waste more energy fiddling with them. I am sure my long runs outside would go by much faster if I had some tunes, but instead I use this time to clear my head and do some deep thinking. J

One of the reasons why my last two long runs on my treadmill (15 & 16 miles) were so bearable was because of my tunes. My treadmill has both an IPOD dock and a speaker port so that I can listen to music on my cell phone.

On my 15 mile run I listened to slacker radio on my cell phone to the “hit 90s” station. It is my current obsession. Who doesn’t love a little Ace of Base or TLC???? On my 16 mile run I created a 40 song playlist on my Amazon Cloud Player. This was the first time I have utilized this feature and it was great. Made my run completely bearable.

So, what tunes get me through a long treadmill run???? Here are my top picks that got me groovin’ on the mill….
