As I was running this morning, I thought of how important music is to me while running and training. It motivates, it distracts, it provokes thought, it inspires. Seeing that most of us are training for one event or another, I thought it would be nice to know what song(s) you like to listen to while training. What do you like about it? How does it motivate you? What does it remind you of? My plan is to acquire as many of those songs as possible and put them on my playlist. As I am logging more and more miles in preparation for this marathon, it will give me something besides the miles to think about. And since each of you inspire me, I'm hoping it will motivate me a little on race day.
I'll start.

• I enjoy listening to Glass of Water by Coldplay - there's a culminating part of the song that always keeps me going.
  
• I've recently started listening to My Body by Young the Giant - there's a line in it that says, "My body tells me no, but I won't quit 'cuz I want more".
• I also like Marchin' On by One Republic - good beat, talks about putting one foot in front of the other.
• For my own reasons, I like Not Out by Greg Laswell. Reminds me that I can do difficult things.
• And I like This Woman's Work by Kate Bush - this song came on once after a really long and challenging run, and I was overcome by what I had managed to do.
• Fools by Temper Trap - just like the way the tempo changes throughout the song.

I have to stop - I could go on and on. My playlist is too long. I'm anxious to see what you guys have to share.
