Here’s the songs I’m relying upon to get me through the last few weeks of training for this year’s Country Music half-marathon (and to distract me enough from the pain on race day to be able to run the whole way 
):
- Fools Gold (Katie Herzig)
- Starlight (Muse)
- Wavin’ Flag (K’naan)
- Wait Till You See Me Smile (Alicia Keys)
- Sunday Bloody Sunday (U2)
- The Great Defector (Bell X1)
- Soldier (Ingrid Michaelson)
- Resurrect Me (Jon Foreman)
- You Give Me Something (James Morrison)
- I’m Gonna Be (The Proclaimers)
- You Don’t Treat Me No Good (Sonia Dada)
- Billie Jean (Michael Jackson)
- Empire State of Mind (Jay-Z and Alicia Keys)
- Midnight Train to Georgia (Gladys Knight)
- Little Lion Man (Mumford & Sons)
- Wide Open Spaces (Dixie Chics)… always takes me back to cross country practice in my freshman year of high school
- Use Somebody (Kings of Leon)
- Eyes Wide Open (Travis)
- Thankful (Jonny Lang)
- Speed of Sound (Coldplay)
- Lady Madonna (The Beatles)
- Love is the Movement (Switchfoot)
