My friend Melissa posted her race playlist for tomorrow’s (Sunday, 4/18) 4 mile Run for the Parks and I decided to post mine too! What a fun idea. You can all know exactly what’s powering me through tomorrow morning at 8 am. Â I plan to PR and beat my fastest 4 mile race time of 40:00. I have run a faster 5K before, but tomorrow is just about beating my 4 mile time.
I put together a nice little playlist of songs that make me want to RUN FAST:
I always start my races with a slower song so I pace myself in the beginning.
The playlist is 40:18, which I think is the perfect length for my goal. I’m really loving the songs and I am very excited about this race! I will be running it with my friend, also named Melissa, and she is a bit faster than me. We hope to push each other through.
Back this week with a recap!

Good luck! You and Melissa will rock it! I was going to do this one but forgot to sign up until I saw everyone’s tweets about it today!
Good luck! I’m sure it will be great!
Dori, I hope the race went well this morning! I am so proud to see you accomplished two half marathons – what an amazing accomplishment. I remember reading about the first race you ever ran. Look how far you have come. WAY TO GO!
Great playlist and great job today! We finished within seconds! You looked gorgeous, as always!
I can’t stop listening to Florence & The Machine.
Good luck!
so I have this really cool hand motion I do to go along with the chorus of “Paper Planes” and let me just say it garners me some weird looks while I run. let’s just say it involves making a gun with my hand and some other really fun moves.
