Couch to Marathon: May Running Playlist

May 9, 2016 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Can you believe it’s already May? Wow! This year is flying by! (Or I’m just getting old. Either way.)

I completed my first 10K this year a few weeks ago and I’ll be sharing what I learned about going from a 5K to a 10K soon. For now, though, get ready for a new month of running with this list of tracks: The Ultimate May Running Playlist!

I included some Latino music, some pop, some R&B, and some rock – just to keep everybody happy and moving on the pavement! Plus, I had to include one of my favorite tracks by the late Prince. 🙁 (Sidenote: If 2016 could stop taking our musical geniuses, that’d be great.)

April 8, 2016 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Okay. I have a 10K to do next Sunday. Since I’ve finished two 5Ks this year, I should be good to go, right?

Wrong!

I just got back from vacation and, during that week, I ate everything there was to eat under the sun. Oh, and guess how many runs I got in during those six days? One.

So I’m desperately in need of some pep in my running step. And I’m going to start with the tracks on my ultimate April running playlist!

We recently began using some online sources to teach our kids. It began as a way to give me a bit of a break, but our special needs kids have thrived because of it. It’s been a pleasant experience and we plan to continue supplementing with online classes.

Couch to Marathon: February Running Playlist

February 6, 2016 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Sigh. February is here. And in my mind, February is known as “the month where goals go to die“.

But if I’m going to train for a marathon, I have to keep running. Which means braving the cold, and the dark, and the really, really, hard pavement. Blah.

So I need a great playlist to keep me moving – or at least to get me moving once I make it out of the door. Today I’m sharing my ultimate February running playlist with you! You know, in case you need a little motivation boost as well.

Ultimate February Running Playlist

The Ultimate February Running Playlist

This one is a mix of 80s, 90s, and modern music. And, as in January’s running playlist, I included a song for one of the music giants who passed: Earth, Wind, and Fire’s Maurice White. By the way, if music legends could stop passing away, that’d be great.

Fantasy – Earth, Wind, & Fire

La Mordidita – Ricky Martin

Take On Me – A-Ha

Work To Do – Vanessa Williams

Drive – Incubus

Find Your Way – Kem

Rude – Magic

Praise You – Fatboy Slim

Renegades Of Funk – Rage Against the Machine

Eye of the Tiger – Survivor

Motownphilly – Boyz II Men

Landslide – Dixie Chicks

February Running Playlist

Do you have favorite songs that keep you moving – even in the cold weather of February? Share your picks in the comments!
