After conversations in comments in my last post, I've decided to break down and ask the parents if I can use their treadmill. It'll get me back into working out, and make them feel better about "never" seeing me. Win-win, right?

So I'm trying the Couch to 5K thing again, this time on a treadmill that I know won't try to do me in, and I'm making work out playlists. Anyone have good walking/running music they want to rec me? DLs would be great, but I can also capture music off Youtube if I can find it there. :) Bring it on, guys!

I suck at DLs but I know Man in Motion by John Parr, while being completely and utterly cheesetastic, always makes me want to work out or play sports.

I always like something with a consistent beat throughout when I'm walking/working out. I've used 'mix' albums, where they take a bunch of songs and stick them over a steady drum track.

Honestly, I've used the first Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers album (on Amazon but not iTunes tho I do have the CD...somewhere)

I've also used CDs by "Stars On" (Stars on Long Play, Stars on 45, etc) which are mostly imports over at Amason but iTunes does have them - they do themes (Star Wars, Abba, beatles, etc).

I know, I'm wierd in my musical tastes.

Right now I am really into Muse "Uprising" while I am on the treadmill...also anything by Rage against the Machine, cause it makes me all angry and want to run harder =)
