Here's my running songs playlist. Most of you who have followed me for a while will recognize the songs you suggested I listen to 3 months ago. As you can tell, I was/still am an Elton John and an ELO addict. These songs were chosen by my personal taste from having 1970's flashbacks (I graduated from high school in 1974), your suggestions, and by being a geek and doing lots of internet searches for "popular songs." Please feel free to comment and suggest songs for me to add. Happy Friday everyone!

I graduated from high school in 1979; I love all these songs!
Nice list... but I am too afraid to run with my ears plugged.
I graduated in 1981...this list is amazing!!...am adding to my ipod today...will get me through some boring time on the dreadmill...I just can't run in the cold...got the layers just right, but the cold air just hates my lungs...or vice versa....
I knew there was a reason I liked you. Not only is the song I suggested #1 on the list (I know , it's in alphabetical order) but you have Rick Springfield on it!!!!!
You've got quite the range of music there. Love it. Especially the 80's stuff :)
WOAH! Totally stoked!!! Can't wait to start DL'ing for my long run tomorrow. Thanks!!!
Thanks for sharing your list! I'm always on the lookout for new running songs and these are some great suggestions.
It's great to see the songs on your playlist. I see there is no rap and giggle because I remember recommended lots of crazy rap songs to you last summer/fall. Oh well, to each her/his own, right? I do love the KC & The Sunshine Band songs, great idea! Have a great weekend!
I love the list Rick, thanks for sharing!
That sounds like a great playlist!!! I think I'm going to do the same as you for my first half-marathon!! :)
That's a good list- many of them are on my ipod as well!
