80's Workout Playlist

If I don't have music playing, my runs aren't likely to last long. I need a distraction to keep myself going so my body doesn't realize I'm trying to whip it, whip it good. Playlists on my iPod are plentiful, but one of my favorites is "80's ADD". Try it out for size. Take it for a stroll around the block in your leotard, leg warmers, and sweatbands. A few tips before downloading the music: 1) Look for the shortest version of the song. 2) A remix might be nice to change things up. 3) Listen to it before you purchase.
