Run Cowtown Run!

I love music, all kinds of music. It is a must to motivate my running. There are certain songs that create a rhythm that keeps me going. Sometimes it’s the way my feet hit the pavement with the beat of the music and other times I tell myself just run until the end of the song and once I get there, the next song will inspire me to move faster or slow me down depending on what it is. I like to shuffle my playlist and just let it happen randomly. I know everyone is different and what works for me may not inspire you, but I’d like to share my current run mix and see if it encourages you to get going.
