Gazelle Girl tomorrow and running playlist!

So, tomorrow is the big Gazelle Girl Half-Marathon in Grand Rapids.  It's kind of cool because a), it's the first year for it, and b) it's all girls.  It should be neat, I'm pretty excited.  My husband is coming along to cheer us on, since he always does the marathon when I do halfs... makes it hard for him to see me finish!  To get pumped for a new spring of races, I've put together a new playlist of jams.  Some slow, some fast, some old, some new, hip hop, rock, oldies... because sometimes you gotta play it cool, and sometimes you need a boost!  In case anyone is looking for a few new songs for THEIR workout mix, here is about 2.3 hours worth...
