It was quite by accident that I found this song.  I was loading up my iPod with new tuneage (yes, I’m old, I still use an iPod as opposed to my phone), and I wanted “Counting Stars” by One Republic.  I happened to click on the song right underneath “Counting Stars” which was “Love Runs Out.”  After a few choice words and a minor tantrum for having bought something I didn’t really want, I thought, “Oh what the hell.  I’ll give it a chance.  It’s got a good beat.”  So I added it to my latest run playlist.  Little did I know it would soon become one of my favorite running songs.  Love this!

I made The Motivator listen to it, and it has also turned into one of his favorite running songs. On Sunday, when he was in the midst of running a mere 20 miles, this song came on at about mile 11 or 12… it got him out of a bad place and re-energized him (see his run report here).

And for the nitty gritty details, if you’re into that sort of thing, this song surprisingly is only 120 BPM and will give you a 13:00 pace, which is fast for me, slow for James, but we actually both enjoy running to it.  So, I don’t think it really matters what your pace is… just listen to the beat and let your legs go with the flow…

…Ooo, I’ll be running, I’ll be running, til the love runs out…

Thank you dear Kelly at honestme363 for Tuney Tuesday!!
