Music or Miles

I have a bad habit of leaving church during the closing music... and yesterday some one said, "I know it seems like it could go on forever, but they only play 3 songs after the sermon." In my head, that's more than a mile. But yesterday, I stuck around and the last song they played was Everlasting God...a great running song! Then I started thinking about some of my favorite running songs. Corey Morrow, "He Carries Me" has some great lyrics..."I know we've got a long way to go... Everyday I'm lucky just to breathe the air I breathe...sometimes I stumble, that's when he carries me." Or two of my favorite songs to end on/cool down to are Todd Fritsch's "Walk to Remember" and Brandon Heath's "I'm not who I was"
One week it seemed like everytime"Washed by the water" (Need to Breathe) played it would be raining. It happened at least 3 times. Here's just a few more that I love, "Learning to Breathe" Switchfoot, "Breathless" Better than Ezra, "One Shot" OAR, "Free and Easy" Dirks Bently, and "Our time now" Plain White T's. I've made my playlist for the marathon already, I'll run all my long runs to the same list and as I increase my milage I'll be surprised by what songs I haven't heard yet (little motivational trick for me). What music gets y'all going? LJ
