I was searching around for some good tunes for running a few weeks back, and I couldn't really find too much that I liked. Since then I've whipped up a pretty fun playlist on my iPod and I thought I'd share it here. It's a pretty diverse mix, and the only rule I had when choosing was that Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' would under no circumstances make the cut.
I've been trying to stick with running since I came to Tokyo, and only over the past few weeks am I managing to get out on a regular basis (thanks in large part to Matthew for coming out too). I live near an awesome trail that runs along the Onda River and if I can't manage to run here then I'll never do it. I'll write a little more about this whole endeavor at a later date. For now, check the awesome tunage below. If you have any suggestions for good running songs, hit me up in the comments.
