I love The Killers as well, When You Were Young is probably in my list of top 10 favorite songs ever.

There's a least one Michael Jackson and Jack Johnson song on each of my workout playlists.

Also, I like Girl Talk as ready made, just press play, already mixed tunes for running. Some of the language can get kind of raunchy but I thinks overall it rocks. He specializes in a mash up/digital sampling style. Free download at their website too. His latest release is nearly the perfect length for my short runs.

Dang, I forgot I love Queen, Fat Bottom Girls, it's my former chunky monkey anthem and I've continued to rock it :)

I was joking the other day I'm going from a fat bottom girl to a flat bottom girl!

Oh haha, yes. I think I've told this story on here, but two weeks ago I was running on the trail at Ft. Ward, a Civil War fort near our house.

My toe caught a tree root and I flew forward a la Superman, scraping on my palms and bashing my hip and knee. My legs were pretty banged up and bleeding (and I have a hilarious iPod shaped bruise on my thigh because I landed on it). The biggest casualty at the time seemed to be my headphones because the cord just shredded. Nothing on me felt like it was broken, so I finished the last four miles of my eight mile run.

Unfortunately, my ankle swelled up a few hours later. It turned out to be only a sprain and an aggravated achilles, but I'm banned from the pavement for now. Still able to elliptical though!

I think music is the reason I haven't looked for an exercise partner, because I just don't do the same when I'm not listening.

Some of the artists I have on my playlist right now are:

Basshunter
Atomik Harmonik
Black Eyed Peas
Pitbull
Flo-rida
Skrillex
Katy Perry
Pink
LMFAO
Marianas Trench
Nickleback
Rihanna
Simple Plan
Eminem
Buckcherry
Edward Maya
Zeromancer

I will be checking out some of the bands posted and the Batman soundtrack. I would love to be batman when I'm riding my bike :)
