My baby is running the Ragnar Relay (Wasatch Back here in Utah) this weekend. Their team is called The Ragnarchy. This fall she will run the Ragnar in Las Vegas. She’ll get medals for each as well as the “Saints and Sinners” for running both races in the same year. I ran with her last year, and we had a blast with our team as everything about the experience was fun (except the running!). I hurt my feet with plantar fasciitis and am not running anymore. However, I’m volunteering for her team to show my support that way. Further, I put together the following running songs playlist for her and her team (GREAT Relationship Principle: Support your partner in their interests). These songs are (loosely) related to running, the shoes you run in, the road you run on, and the race itself. I thought I’d put this up for you any of my readers who are alos runners and are looking for some great songs to motivate you on your runs. Enjoy.

Thanks for posting this fun running playlist. I’m aiming for the Saints to Sinners medal in 2013 and my husband is doing the Wasatch Back with me.
You’re very welcome! Glad you like it. Good for you and your husband!!! My wife got her Saints and Sinners medal this year and was very proud and had a great time. I ran Vegas last year with her but due to my weight and bad feet developed plantar fasciitis and can no longer run. I had a great time otherwise. Runners are crazy, fun and very supportive and encouraging people no matter one’s ability level I found. Have a great time and if you find any new songs to add to this list let me know! :-)
