Congratulations on the half marathon and good luck with it.
I actually listen to audiobooks when I run, but if I were to listen to music then 'It's Only Rock and Roll' by the Rolling Stones would definately be on my list.
Could I please nominate dreambluangel and 45rpm? Thank you!
DACHAL - thanks, I'll have a watch when I get home!
Greencats - I've tried running to audiobooks and comedy, but I seem to run much better when I listen to music, spoken word reduces me to a slow plod. I'm a pretty poor runner so I'll take all the advantages I can get! That's a great song idea, thank you!
My song for you is DJ Ease My Mind by Niki and the Dove. I love it because it's got a fantastic beat, and it tricks you into thinking it's going to go really techno but doesn't XD I love the singer's voice and this whole song makes me feel energetic and happy. Hope you like it!
Someone has already mentioned Taylor Swift so I'm not gonna say the same but I often go jogging and from Red I would recommend Starlight, 22 and Stay Stay Stay for running. They put you in a good mood.
You wrote you like inspirational songs and this is the first song that came to my mind when I read your post:
Jewel: What you are - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFTKO8Bcusc
Kayla - thanks for those, I haven't heard any of them! I hope you get some inspiration here too, for what it's worth my favourite running songs include:
Rocks, by Primal Scream
Canned Heat, by Jamiroquai (great pace, and the though of Napoleon Dynamite makes me smile)
Suck My Kiss & Give it Away, by Ret Hot Chilli Peppers
XenaCullen - that's a great list! I always like I Wanna Dance With Somebody at weddings, but it hasn't been on my playlist until now!
Readreadreadread - I've got Speak Now by Taylor, but I haven't heard Red so I will give it a bash, cheers
Rocky - Thanks! I'll definitely try Metronomy. Now That We Found Love is an awesome song to run to, it always gets me going again if I'm flagging
Thank u so much Shrill,I love Whitney Houston been a fan of hers since her debut in 1985,so when she passed away on February 11,2012 at the age of 48...
my entry is breathe me by sia, i think its a beutiful song and its got me through so much, also its not something you hear everyday on the radio, that it all
One of my very favorites is Goodbye Stranger by Supertramp.
I also like The Logical Song by the same artist. Both were also done by Cheap Trick. Hope you enjoy.
I've recently discovered a band called Lawson, and I love their album. My little boy, he's 14 months, loves Adam Lambert and Bruno Mars, and refuses to let e listen to anything else so having something new that he enjoys too is a bonus.
Raise Your Glass by P!nk - Some consider her mainstream some don't but I love the song. Unfortunately it's not on most people's playlist.
Coming Home Pt 2 by Skylar Grey - I don't know if it's the best running music but it's a beautiful song.
This song makes me smile & move, no matter what. (Not necessarily safe while driving.) Michael Jackson - Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
Child of the 80's, what can I say? :roll:
Well, if you are open to all types of music I would recommend a song called "Blood" by the band In This Moment. The female lead is amazing and it will def. get you pumped up while running!! The chorus has a great beat for when you are in your main stride. Hope this helps! And I suppose I shall enter your drawing as well.

Not sure if these have been suggested yet, but here are a few songs I really enjoy listening too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wndX9pTCxx8 - Human Beings by Van Halen. It's from my favorite movie of all time, Twister. But I really love the song. It makes me want to go nuts and jump all over the place.
Oooh, this looks like fun!
For running I'd choose:
Little Boots - Remedy (It's just catchy really)
Lana Del Rey - Off to the Races, Born to Die and Diet Mountain Dew (No idea what she's singing about but the rhythm/beat is almost addictive)
Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights (Not what most would call a "running song", but I think to riff would be great to work-out to, maybe?)
Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell, You Took The Words Right Out of My Mouth, and All Revved Up With No Place To Go (Memories of Childhood!)
P!nk - So What, Stupid Girls, Good Old Days, anything of hers really (She's just about as awesome as you can get)
Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon (This version is just amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtPyk8_onO8 )
No Doubt - It's My Life, Cool (Well, this is actually by Gwen Stefani when she went solo, forgive me), Settle Down (This version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wqS9B9G8Zc )
Could I Nominate Myself and Corettabarajas, please?

I'm personally a musical theatre person, so I like to listen to soundtracks of shows when I work out. But I'm sure you want to mix things up a bit. A couple of songs I love are Omigod You Guys and Ireland from Legally Blonde the Musical, (really anything from Legally Blonde is good). Those are some really good songs that anyone can really enjoy (not just theatre dorks!).
