First of all, today's run results: 2 miles in 29:08! Faster than I need to be! Woo hoo! I was supposed to walk 5 min / run 20 min / walk 5 min. I ended up walking for a bit (one song) in the middle of the run. I'm not sure exactly what my times were for each interval, because I don't have a watch for running so I just ran for a certain number of songs.
So this is my playlist now. I need to make it about twice as long, because right now it's only 41.7 minutes and I need at least an hour and 15 minutes for a 5 mile run.
Hot N Cold - Katy Perry
Stronger - Kanye West
Thnks Fr Th Mmrs (Thanks for the Memories) - Fall Out Boy
Don't Stop the Music - Rihanna
Because the Night - Patti Smith
Ray of Light - Madonna
Disturbia - Rihanna
Beautiful Day - U2
The Boxer - Carbon Leaf
We Didn't Start the Fire - Billy Joel
I do have a few more songs in mind. I just wish I could find my 80's mix my friend S. made me years ago - there are some good songs on there and I really don't want to pay to download them when I know I have the CD somewhere!
Leave me a comment if you have any ideas for peppy (but not too peppy - I'm shooting for 120-140 beats per minute, which is on the slow end of what's good for running, but I am a slow runner!)

"A Little Respect" by Erasure
And don't forget that you can search on itunes for songs in the bpm range you want. I'm sure you can find playlists just for 5k, 10k, or marathon runs. Look at those and pick and choose the songs you want.
