What's your soundtrack?

The ultimate soundtrack moment for me is the opening scene from "Saturday Night Fever". John Travolta's character, Tony, is walking down the street with a paint can - and because of the music, it feels like the coolest thing anyone could be doing in 1977 Brooklyn. If you tell me you haven't been tempted to grab a can of Dutch Boy and strut down the aisles of Home Depot, you're a liar.

Ever have a day where you just didn't feel motivated to get after it? Probably not a rare event if you're working in corporate America! For me, these days pop up and it can bleed into everything if I'm not careful. My solution is to put on good music and make my own soundtrack.

I'm going to post a couple of favorite songs each week that get me fired up to run that extra mile, study that extra chapter and finish that project at work. As far as running and training goes - it's a personal choice. I like to have music on when I'm training, but prefer to use nothing during a race so I can hear the crowd's cheers and encouragement. Try running with and without music and see which you like best. Today's song is "Jealous Again" by the Black Crowes. It's a great rock song with a bluesy edge to it. I find it's helpful to mix up genres. P90x talks about muscle confusion. I'm all about groove confusion. What are some songs that motivate you and get you going? Comment below!
