Alright everyone: In less than 24 hours I am off to Ulm to try to run a marathon. In less than 40 hours my feet will hit the pavement. As I’ve written before, I expect it will take me 4-5 hours–that’s a lot of music.
I need song, album, artists suggestions to keep me pumped and motivated during the run. Even more of a reason: if you suggest a song then when I hear it I will be reminded of you. What more motivation would I need?
Please, suggest away (even if I don’t know you)!
Update: Here is the Marathon Playlist. It worked quite well–I finished much faster than I expected (4h 4m, I expected 5h).
YES! I’m going to consult my own “Run Fun” playlist for this one. And I know you have most of the songs because I stole them from you.
