I’m in an 80’s kick right now. Good beats and reminds me of being a kid at the pool in the summer with all my friends and the biggest decision was who’s house to go to after the pool closed. I almost started singing Whip It by Devo at the gym the other day. Luckily I didn’t have the breath to try. I was getting into it.
Go to iTunes Music Store, go to Podcasts and search Podrunner. One hour of FREE workout music at different paces. Excellent!

Hey, Tom, thanks for the always uplifting encouragement on the boards and for combining our music threads. I think there’s an old one out there that I missed, Rosebud, so I’m guilty of the same thing when I started the playlist thread. It’s all good.
I’m really enjoying everyone’s input. I also tried the Couch to 5K podcast you guys have mentioned in the forum and I could actually DO it! Surprised myself. Right now in the first week it’s only run 60 seconds, walk 90, but hey, for a short, stubby, non-runner I did pretty good.
Just got 2 Squirrel Nut Zipper cd’s from a friend. You guys recommended that band. Weird and silly, but fun swing music!
My playlist has been mostly Couch to 5K this week, although I did listen to most of Scott’s Unplugged (Whew!) and the Fitting It In podcast. I really like Weight Loss and the Mind, FitCast, and Fitness Rocks.
from FitSugar.com. Not really my cup of tea, but some of you may enjoy it.
In recognition of Atlanta being crowned the Asthma Capital of the USA, this week’s play list is a compilation of music from Atlanta based artists—With Usher and Outkast on the play list, this list is sure to keep you (and your heart) moving during your workout.
