This is fun, we have the same taste in music.
Number 1, 2, 4, 6 (but Glee Cast version), 8 and 11 are on my Ipod too.
I love most Black Eyed Peas and Gaga songs for running. One song that always helps me finish in a race is the theme of Rocky. On my first 10K race that song gave me wings when I was so tired and helped me run faster to cross the finish line.
