Being that it’s Labor Day and all, today marks the unofficial end of summer. And when I think of summer, I think of the dog days of summer. And when I hear the dog days of summer, I can’t help but think of the song “Dog Days Are Over” by Florence + The Machine. Are…

music monday: renegades
In case you were wondering what happened to last week’s Music Monday post, well, wonder no more. Unfortunately, the week got away from me and before I knew it, I was huffing and puffing up mountains in a race that I will talk about in my next post. Promise. So now Music Monday resumes!
music monday: who we are
Listening to “Who We Are” by Imagine Dragons, one can tell this is not a “running” song by any means. It’s not fast. It’s not upbeat. I wouldn’t categorize it as a “happy” song either. But, it’s intense. Almost a power song. Whenever I hear this song, it’s as if my run got kicked into THX,…
music monday: 25 miles

I kept thinking of this song, “25 Miles” from Edwin Starr, Sunday morning as I was volunteering for Angeles Crest 100…
music monday: i’m alive (life sounds like)
There are certainly days when I just want to live inside a Michael Franti & Spearhead song. While I don’t know their whole catalog of music, I’ve listened to enough of their music to know it’s filled with love, positivity, and great energy. What’s not to LOVE about that?
music monday: love runs out
Can I just say, OneRepublic is one of my favorite bands for running music and they are amazing in concert? Well, I guess I can say it because I just said it. And they are! If you haven’t seen them live, please do and tell them I sent you. Actually, they don’t know who I…
music monday: two step
I honestly can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the Dave Matthews Band live in concert. 12? 16 times? Somewhere around there. Mostly during the summer. And a few times on my birthday. (I love going to concerts on my birthday.) As probably with most DMB fans, I know which songs they tend to jam on a…
music monday: colors
There is no denying when the first few beats and notes of a song gets me moving and grooving, that’s a song I want to put on my running playlist.
