Playlists: Run Jaime Run

I have a few playlists for running, I'm mostly sick of them all, but this one entitled "Run Jaime Run" still proves to be the most reliable...


Ready to Run - Dixie Chicks:  Great way to start a run, think of the run as a good time and get going. 
Girlfriend - Matthew Sweet:  I feel like Matthew Sweet is flirting with me when I hear this song.  It's possible. 
Call Me When Your Sober - Evanescence: Sweet anger, a great motivator. 
Bad Reputation - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts:  Such a badass song and is insta-adrenaline for me. 
We Belong - Pat Benatar: If Joan Jett is the coffee, then Pat Benatar is the Kahlua.  Still packs a punch, but makes it a little sweeter going down. 
Friends - Band of Skulls: Love the opening guitar of this song.  Sounds like trouble is coming. 
Meet Me On The Equinox - Deathcab for Cutie:   This song helps me visualize the end of the run. 
Quiet Dog - Mos Def:  No bigger inspiration then hearing Nelson Mandela talk about his own focus and drive.  It puts things into perspective.  My running may not start a movement, but I should keep on moving.  And the beat is killer. Simmah down now...
Salvation - The Cranberries: Dolores and the boys talk about living a life that's good for you.   
Take it and Run - Dropkick Murphys:  One of my favs from this band!  It's all about taking control of your life.  
Five Minutes to Midnight - Boys Like Girls:  This song is fun, upbeat and all about just "going for it"  
Long Road to Ruin - Foo Fighters:  Great driving tune, keeps the legs the moving. 
Mother - Danzig:  This song comes in handy when I need to dig a little to find some motivation (See "Home Run").  I don't really know what Glenn Danzig is talking about, but his angry voice helps me feel angry too and I forget about any walls in my way.
Perfect Games - The Broken West:  itunes once suggested this song to me and it was love at first listen.  This song serves as the calming salve to "Mother", when its over I am once again balanced. 
Run - Vampire Weekend:  VW is my obsession of 2009 that has not gone away.  Since this title is "Run" it pretty much had a seat at the table the minute I named the playlist. 
Everlong - Foo Fighters:  The tune is awesome and always keeps me moving.  It also gets me day dreaming of Dave Grohl.  "Got to promise not to stop when I say when."  OK Dave, anything for you.  (swoon)
