Portland Rock n' Roll Half Marathon 2012 (Part 2) - My Playlist!


Because I LOVE music it means I LOVE (and despise) putting together playlists for races. I love it because I enjoy finding a good mix of music, and I despise it because I have over 7500 songs on my itunes and it makes it EXTREMELY difficult to choose! 

That being said, this playlist has definitely been a labor of love, particularly because it took me a few days to whittle down and finalize. Then I kept thinking of songs that I liked and knew I had but knew I hadn't added to my list yet!

Anywho, I like to approximate that I go through roughly 3-4 songs per mile, depending on song length and depending on mile pace OF COURSE. For this race I approximated it to 4 songs per mile with 1 mile having 5 shorter songs.

  1. So how did you end up liking your list?? I actually did this without music since I ran with someone. I did find myself singing along at every music stop though. I missed my music. I feel like it helps me get in a zone - and then I don't hear myself breathing and panting too much!
