The No-Excuses Playlist

Also known as music that keeps me from flopping to the ground and begging for death upon the realization that my running fitness has (almost) completely flown the coop.

I am all over the map with my tastes in music, enjoying everything from pop to classical to hip-hop to jazz to blues.  But there is no doubt that at heart, I am a rock kind of girl.  When it’s time to get serious, for me there is no better soundtrack by which to do so than the kind where guitars shred and drums thunder. 

1. Tomoyasu Hotei (Kill Bill Vol. 1 Soundtrack) – Battle Without Honor or Humanity
2. Metallica – No Leaf Clover
3. Smashing Pumpkins – Bullet With Butterfly Wings
4. Joe Satriani – Big Bad Moon
5. Night Ranger – You Can Still Rock in America
6. Orianthi – Highly Strung
7. Joe Satriani – Crowd Chant
8. Judas Priest – Electric Eye
9. Chickenfoot – Avenida Revolucion
10. Joe Satriani – Summer Song
11. Orianthi – What’s It Gonna Be
12. The Stooges – I Wanna Be Your Dog
13. Foo Fighters – Walk
14. Eric Johnson – Cliffs of Dover

I am looking forward to the day when my pace can keep up with these beats!
