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.

What Doesn't Kill You Makes You STRONGER

Seems to be my theme song this past week. I cannot even begin to explain the numerous BOMBS that have been dropped on me this week. Apparently everyone who knows me also have impecable timing with telling me these things RIGHT BEFORE my Bar.
