Good music can make or break a run, particularly when that run needs to be more than a couple of miles. Here’s enough music (some new stuff and some throwbacks and plenty of girl power tunes) to keep you moving for about an hour:
Hey Soul Sister – Train
Dancing On My Own – Robyn (Yes, Robyn S. of “Show Me Love” fame. She’s got her own indie label these days.)
Closet Bitch – Emma Lasry
L.O.V.E. – V.V. Brown
Cat & Mouse – Nikki and Rich
Never Forget You – The Noisettes
Quick Fix – V.V. Brown
I Like It – Enrique Iglesias (feat. Pitbull)
Airplanes – B.O.B. (feat. Hayley Williams)
Break Your Heart – Taio Cruz and Ludacris
In My Head – Jason Derulo
Live Your Life – T.I. (feat. Rihanna)
Breathe – Blu Cantrell and Sean Paul (This song takes me back to the days of being single and dancing my way through the bars of Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle.)
Say Hey (I Love You) – Michael Franti & Spearhead
Manic Monday – The Bangles
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go – Wham!
Sheena Is A Punk Rocker – Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Because I’m Awesome – The Dollyrots (Because you. Are. Awesome.)
Whatever You Like – Anya Marina (This song is brilliant and I will never stop loving it.)

Great list! I have to throw in my favorite You Make My Dreams — Hall & Oates. I can’t hold still whenever I hear that song.
