A Running Mom

These ladies inspire me to keep running. They make a difference. They support each other. They stay healthy. Isn’t that inspiring to us all?

Here’s what I’ll be running to this weekend when I get the chance to lace up those shoes!  Try ‘em out and let me know if you run a little faster with these songs urging you on!

1. “Stronger” by Kanye West   

2. “Makes Me Wonder” by Maroon 5

3. “Just Dance” by Lady Gaga

4. “Live Your Life” by TI, featuring Rihanna

5. “You Found Me” by The Fray

6. “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga

7. “Sober” by Pink

8. “Love Story” by Taylor Swift

9. “How Far We’ve Come” by Matchbox Twenty

May your next run be a good one.

So now that I’m getting into running with my girls–and since my little guy isn’t quite ready to run yet, we’ll just focus on my girls–I realize I need a good list of music for about a 2-mile run. 2 miles is the perfect distance to shoot for covering with a kid between 10-14. Younger kids might be able to enjoy jogging this distance, too, but by 10, most kids can handle jogging for about 20 minutes. So they’ll probably end up runnin about 2 miles. So here it is. A great list of songs to help get you and any kids in your life out on the trails running. These songs are great. And they’re perfectly appropriate for kids, too. My 11 year-old daughter and a few friends with kids from Twitter and beyond, helped to create it. See what you think!
