30 Days of Truth, Day Thirteen: A Playlist

Today for 30 Days of Truth, I'm supposed to write a letter to a band or artist who's song got me through a rough time or bad day, but I'm not really someone who uses music to wallow and thus I had no way of writing about this.

"When I hear music, I fear no danger.  I am invulnerable.  I see no foe."

~ Henry David Thoreau

Instead I'm going list out the songs currently on my "running" iPhone play list - sometimes running can be a bit frustrating and there are definitely days I'd love to quit, but these songs keep me going even when I'm hitting a wall.  They vary considerably (rap, pop, hard rock, and reggae) but all have a good beat and help me keep pace.  Enjoy!

(Note: I listen to these on shuffle to keep the list fresh and I don't run the entire time of this list...yet)
