I'm running either a full or half marathon this Sunday (I'll decide at mile 11 where the courses split if it's too hot!) and I know it's going to be tough either way. The forecast is calling for high 80s and humid. Fortunately it's on a rail trail so it will be flat and shady, but still, it's probably going to suck. It's also a tiny race so there will be few fans.
It's called the 1/2 sauer 1/2 kraut marathon...held by the husband of a german pastry chef! There will be runners in lederhosen and an accordion player.
So, I will need some good musical motivation. You guys know I'm a classical nerd, and while I love popular music too, my tastes usually run more on the alternative/indie/singer-songwriter side, which isn't the best running music. I need some songs to add to the ipod today that will really keep me going!
Thinking of eating this at the end won't exactly be the best motivationPlease comment with your hip-hop/rap/generally awesome suggestions. And any of you lurkers with Ke$ha/Usher/will.i.am (are they even cool? I have no idea, I just wanted to use a dollar sign in soemone's name) taste, please chime in too!

How close is your work to downtown? I'll make you a CD that you can upload to your computer; I have a bunch of the top-pop stuff!
Oh, and to finish that thought, if you're not close, B and I can run it out later this evening. :)
You're so sweet! That would be amazing! My work is at 100 N. Charles street - really close to Fed Hill. I'm heading out at 3:45 for class so could meet you then or I could swing by your place on my way home after class - I'd love to see your new digs!
Sorry! Just reading this. I am such a slacker, I really did have the best intentions of sending you discs! I even stole a few from work this week so you know I mean it. If not on C's playlist, Iike flo'rida low and outkast b.o.b. a lot right now for motivation songs. And human by the killers. Good luck!! Eat some bratwurst for me :)
So sorry I missed this post -- this sounds like Pete's ideal race and he would have had the PERFECT playlist suggestions I'm sure. Next time you are running in a sausage-themed race and craving indie music, be sure to let me know...
