So I've started another training plan, this one to get me ready for my Avon Walk in October. This morning, while I was walking outside and listening to my iPod (don't worry it was turned way down), I had on my Exercise Playlist - a compilation of what I consider to be upbeat songs or songs with a good beat to to keep my pace. I'm listing them below but I got to wondering - what's some of your favorite music to listen to while exercising? Specific songs? Specific artists? Anything I'm missing?

That is a great list. I really like dance music. We have a great high school station here in Seattle that plays a lot of good dance songs. You might try it during the week via the web.

"It's Raining Men" is by The Weather Girls, LOL. I love that song.
I like to exercise to old Rolling Stones, songs like Miss You, Shattered, Honky Tonk Women.
