Tomorrow morning I will be running my first 5K since high school! Needless to say I am a little nervous, not because I don’t think I can finish, but because I want to finish STRONG! Just put together my “Pump Me Up” mix for the race and boy it was hard. I had about two hours of music to start with and I sure hope it doesn’t take me two hours! I’ll be posting pics and maybe video from the race tomorrow, but for now here is my killer mix:
Glamorous (Feat. Ludacris) Fergie
Thought I would start out with a slow one to keep pace and of course a mood lifter 
Gone Going (Feat. Jack Johnson) Black Eyed Peas
Hopefully I will be Gone, Going
Wind It Up Gwen Stefani
Just a good, fast paced tune
Bossy Kelis
‘Cause I am Boss-ay
Stronger Kanye West
“That that don’t kill me, can only make me stronger”
My Humps Black Eyed Peas
By far, the BEST workout song ever
Ms New Booty Bubba Sparxxx
Hopefully with all this running, I will have a new bootay!
Move Along The All-American Rejects
“Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along”
Circus Britney Spears
You can’t go wrong with some Britney!
Cupid Shuffle
Down down do your dance, do your dance…AGH I love this song!
Boom Boom Pow, Black Eyed Peas
I got that boom, boom pow…
I Want You To Want Me, 10 Things I Hate About You Soundtrack
Something about this song just really gets those legs pumping 
Tubthumping, Chumbawamba
I get knocked down, but I get up again, nothing ever gonna keep me down…
Closer, Ne-Yo
Hoping to be closer to the finish line!
Don’t Stop Believin, Journey
Don’t stop believin’ in finishing under my goal time, “Just a small town girl…”
Walk It Out Unk
Just a little cool down song
