Survivor Playlist

So I took a jog around the neighborhood a few nights ago. And then again at the gym last night (well, I ran at the gym, not around the gym.) And I realized something revolutionary. A good playlist can make all the difference in the world when running. (I realize that’s why the whole iPod craze caught on, but bear with me, I’m slow…)
So, in addition to some workout and worship playlists (don’t judge – they both help me keep going when I’m jogging) – I’ve created a survivor playlist. And let me tell you, it’s one of the best things in the world. If I’m having a rough day, running up a hill, having to head to the doctor’s office or even have a routine scan, I’ll put on my playlist and start jamming away. The songs are very carefully selected, and either bring back a memory of why to persevere, or just bluntly tell me to keep going.

I couldn’t tell you I had a playlist without telling you what’s on it! Here are the songs I’ve added to my “survivor playlist” so far, and I’m sure there will be many more! Also see that although one of my biggest pet peeves in life is internet videos, I’ve decided to be trendy yet again and post links to videos so you can hear the songs and have something to look at. (And yes, I realize that YouTube is nothing new, either…) Maybe I’ll catch on sooner one of these days.
Enjoy!
We Trying To Stay Alive | Wyclef John
I Will Survive | Gloria Gaynor
Stellar | Incubus (thanks to Guitar Hero, this one’s on there.)
Lucky | Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat
Since U Been Gone | Kelly Clarkson
Life Is Short | John Reuben (ignore the cooky video, only one I could find with the song.)
Have any new suggestions for me? Leave a comment and let me know of songs you think I should add!

Running is to blame for me loving Ke$ha. And man, do I love me some Ke$ha these days. Have you heard “Fighter” by Christina Aguilera? Might make a nice addition to your Survivor Playlist.
