Tunesday - Put this one on repeat mode...

I'm sure you're curious to know which song Mary actually sang to me....




I know, could she be any more awesome?  When this song comes on I literally sing out loud as I'm running.
 
Do you have a song that pulls you out of that 18 mile funk? 

Do you love Mary as much as me?

Any other tips for getting through a 'down' moment in a race?  
(I don't like calling it a wall)

  1. I wanted to say "hi"! I found your blog on the 1000 mile spread sheet. I live in Wy and have loved reading about your 12 in 12.

    My favorite power running song right now is "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera. Love it!

  3. How did you not stop and break into dance moves when this song came on? I can't even type this comment without moving all over the place...

  6. I never listen to music while running, so I can't help you here! But when I hit bad spots in a marathon, I just remind myself that it will pass. And it always does, to some degree or another.

  7. Nice! Mary rocks!

    What pulls me out of a late mile slump varies by the day.

  9. I too just found your blog - my eighteen mile funk is more like a nine mile funk (I'm training for my first half marathon) but a couple of my current favorite run songs are "Not Myself Tonight" by Christina Aguilera, "Raise Your Glass" by Pink, and my most favorite, a remix of "U+Ur Hand", also by Pink. As a bonus it's more than six minutes long so it carries me a long way. ;-)
    I'm adding your song to my playlist now!

  14. I saw Mary in concert at Lilith Fair last summer. She's awesome!

    "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor is one of my favorite running songs, along with "Touch Peel and Stand" by Days of the New.
