You guys are awesome! Thanks for the suggestions. I have a lot of these songs but not all. I’m looking forward to putting together a playlist.

@Greg M: “Taking the Long Way” also had another bonus song – “Live Wire” — httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ym_pRR3A40

You can definitely hear Mike Campbell (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) in it. Campbell also worked on “Lubbock or Leave It.” Mudcrutch, Tom Petty’s original band involving Campbell, recently redid the song for their album of the same name. The music is the same, but the lyrics are different. It’s called “Bootleg Flyer.”

“Callin’ Baton Rouge” by Garth Brooks is a great one.

“Maybe She Wouldn’t Be Gone” by Blake Shelton is really catchy too.

This discussion isn’t valid without the mention of T-R-O-U-B-L-E by Travis Tritt. Ha!

I am still stuck in the CD age I guess, because I don’t have a ‘workout playlist’. I usually just pop in a CD I know has some tempo to it. Jo Dee Messina’s ‘I’m Alright’ album is really great – and so is Shania Twain’s ‘Come On Over’. And lately, I’ve really listening to ‘Love On The Inside’ when I work out too.

“Callin’ Baton Rouge” Garth Brooks
“If I fall your going down with me” the Dixie Chicks
“Kerosene” Miranda Lambert
“I try to think about Elvis” Patty Loveless

I don’t have too many really up tempo songs, most of my running playlist is mid- tempo (might be why I don’t run very much), but those ones help me.

How about “Keep Your Distance”, “Why Baby Why” and “I Wanna Believe” all by Patty Loveless! “Live It” by Kathy Mattea is a great one too.

I know you are not the biggest Sugarland fan, but I would definitely second “Settlin’” as a good marathon-training song, as much for the lyrics in the chorus as the energy. As a non-country suggestion, an old Style Council song, “Walls Come Tumbling’ Down,” is an appropriate pick-me-up. Good luck (from a fellow marathoner).

There’s not much country that gets me pumped up so I gotta go with Metallica. Their new album is really invigorating. (I crank it when I’m washing the dishes :))
