running tunes...

Ruthie posted some favorite running tunes and so here are some of mine:

The Eleventh Hour-Jars of Clay

Someday-Sugar Ray

I Ain't Gonna Stand for It-Eric Clapton

Good Things-BoDeans

360 Degrees of You-SHeDaisy

Float On-Modest Mouse

Don't Get Comfortable-Brandon Heath

Paralyzer-Finger Eleven

The Lucky One-Allison Krauss

We Didn't Start the Fire-Billy Joel

She Moves in Her Own Way-The Kooks

Relax, Take It Easy-Mika

If I Was Jesus-Paul Colman

Paradise-BoDeans

So, then I was thinking...what goes into choosing songs for a runlist?  Well, some of them remind me of a person.  Some, of a time in my life.  Some just have a good beat, and some are for the lyrics, like "Relax, Take It Easy," and the guy cracks me up in his spandex pink pants with his suspenders.  If you've never heard of the BoDeans, check them out on itunes!  Jars of Clay are just my favorite, and they make almost every runlist.  And I imagine myself as Allison Krauss because she's so talented...I'm weird, I know.  But my mind has fun while I run.  

More later about that mental tug-o-war Ruthie also mentioned....
