Looking for some good running songs

[billysmommy]

I have 3 playlists for running on my ipod but am getting bored and would like to make a few more. I listen to everything ~ I have Traveling Willburys, Pussycat Dolls, Vanilla Ice, Jim Croce, Kenny Rogers etc

I'm looking for either really fun dancy songs or some with a good steady beat. A friend sent me a cd and I got some good ones off there ~ Footloose, I love Rock n Roll and St Elmos Fire.

Any good suggestions? Thanks :)

My list is in this thread here along with a few more:

New additions:
Warm up:
I Kissed a Girl by Jill Sobule
Lose Yourself by Eninem

Cardio:
Testify by Rage Against the Machine
Take a Look Around by Limp Bizkit (my new favorite for running- I sprint as hard as I can during the chorus and walk, jog or run during the rest of the song. So fun!)

I don't run (especially now) but Melissa Etheridge's I Run for Life is one must-have workout tune IMO!

I get pumped up when I hear Madonna Immaculate Collection songs come up when I am excercising. Brings back memories of the Like a Virgin Tour that I saw at Radio City : )
