I am always looking for awesome, upbeat songs to add to my workout playlists and figured some of you guys might be in the same boat and might enjoy a sneak peak into my playlist for today’s race.
Below is my playlist and I’ve linked all the songs to YouTube videos where the songs should play immediately (without a pre-song advertisement!) to hopefully make them easier to listen to if you care to check out any of the songs that may be unfamiliar to you.

Kathleen @ Ocean Full of Lemons says
hahaha Dolly Parton’s 9-5? I love it! Have you ever seen the movie? My sisters and I used to watch that movie a lot growing up – so random – but hilarious!!! (Also I love that you have Big Pun in there!)
Good luck!!!
peanutbutterfingers says
i have! i saw it a couple of years ago. i just love dolly!
AJ says
so glad you included Ben Folds’ “Army” – that song is sooo fascinating and has an excellent beat. Sometimes when I’m getting bored during a run I switch to it because it keeps me going…how can you stay bored with lyrics like “grew a mustache and a mullet, got a job at chick-fil-a”?
Good luck!
Meg says
You go girl! BIEBER FEVER FTW!
Hillary says
Yep, I run to Glee, too. Lots and lots of Glee ; )
Good luck today, Julie (and Ryan!)
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says

Since you’ll be reading this after the run, congratulations on finishing! That’s another half under your belt! 🙂 yaaay bring on the celebratory cakes and fro yo!

Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Great playlist! All the best 🙂
Bob Halter says
Julie – Alyssa left off reason #11 – all the pity and sympathy you get for a solid week after a marathon when you cannot even walk. Stick wth the half.

I think you actually are running the marathon right…now! I am sending you positive energy- telepathically, of course!
Love the song list!
Jacqueline says
Good luck on your marathon!! Kick some boo-tay!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
I love “Show me how you burlesque”!!! Although I always start trying to dance while running… looks a bit odd. I think you’re done now, hope it went great!
filip says
With that song list, I think you will have a great marathon! The best of luck!
One favorite of mine is Poets of the Fall – More: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot3IrKObWWc
That song is suitable for fartlek and faster runs.

Out of curiosity, what site do you use to download music? I’ve tried a few but they keep getting more and more sketchy! Good luck on the marathon!

I love how many songs you have from The Sing Off on there. Great job on your race!
Gillian @ That's G says
Love the playlist! I feel like having music you love is SO key for having fun while running!
Also LOVE Blu Cantrell “Hit Em Up Style!” I feel like I haven’t thought about that song in 10 years. Weird. I also have a song on my running playlist from the Legally Blonde soundtrack – Whipped into Shape!
Hope the race went well!

Hope your half marathon went well. Now it’s definitely time to up it to the marathon. Once you drink that kool-aid you’ll never look back to the half 😉
