Playlist Chicago 2012

So I know some of you have been on "pins and needles" wanting to know what I listened to during my 4 hours 23 minutes, 11 second run through Chicago this past Sunday- Yep that is my time.  I of course being me- chattynatty- have plenty to write about the marathon and the weekend, but I will start with the Playlist...

Here are the songs and the singers.  Nope they aren't in order because I hit shuffle before I start my race to keep me on the edge of my seat wondering what song is going to happen next.  I really loved my playlist and thought/was reminded about various people during the race because of the songs I heard.  I only skipped songs within the last mile of the race, because I just needed that extra Humph! at the end.  I didn't end up listening to all my songs, but here they are, with some commentary.

1. I gotta Feeling      Black Eyed Peas (first song that played, pretty appropriate and great pump up song)
2. Back N Black      ACDC (2nd song I heard along the race route- totally reminds me of my rockin daughter)
3. Jolene                    Dolly Parton (love this song so PURE- 3rd song I heard on the route)

Well that's all gang- great diversity and great pace music.  Thanks again for the music BRB- helped me get through the marathon.  Music is a major motivator for me when running and fun to remember all the different people/events when listening to the songs.
