In workout class this morning, I discovered that Missy Elliott’s “Get Ur Freak On” may be my perfect running song. Ideal tempo for a challenging pace, and that hook gives me energy. And it’s Missy…awesome women are just naturally motivating. This led me to resolve to resurrect my iPod mini and fill it with some things that will keep me going during my workouts.

But I need your help. What would you recommend I throw on there? I’m open to all genres, but I want to keep the tempo high and the tone invigorating. I’ll post the final playlist someplace where people can download it.

So, suggestions?
