This Ordinary Life

I don't know about you, but I haven't yet reached a state of Zen running. To me this is the point when running trancends being exercise and becomes a state of being. Kilometres fall to the wayside as your mind becomes clearer and you start solving the worlds problems every time you climb a big hill. It becomes a perpetual activity that once you reach critical mass could go on forever.

Until I reach that point, I will have to rely on more traditional means of motivation, namely running with a mate, pride and music. The last will be a focus of my entry today where I'll share one of my running playlists. My taste of music quite eclectic, but these songs will guaranteed get you through at least 10 - 15kms. I recommend running this playlist on random as there are multiple songs from both The Chemical Brothers (who have many great songs to run by) and Collective Soul (one of my favourite bands in general).

My running playlist:

1. Stop the Rock - Apollo 440
2. My Family - Banana Oil
3. Brian Wilson - Bare Naked Ladies
4. One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces - Ben Folds Five
5. Thunderstruck - AC/DC
6. It's 5! - Architecture in Helsinki
7. A Little Busy - Art Blackey & the Jazz Messengers
8. Pump It - Black Eyed Peas
9. Hazy Shade of Winter - Bodyjar
10. Comfort Eagle - Cake
11. Block Rockin' Beats - The Chemical Brothers
12. Setting Sun - The Chemical Brothers
13. Alive Alone - The Chemical Brothers
14. Energy - Collective Soul
15. Precious Declaration - Collective Soul
16. December - Collective Soul
17. After All - Collective Soul
18. Dakota - Stereophonics
19. Superman - Stereophonics
20. Why Do You Love Me - Garbage
21. Bring Me To Life - Evanescence

Happy running!
