Tuesday Tunes: Annotated Lawyers Have Heart Playlist

I really liked the playlist I made for the Zooma Annapolis Half Marathon. and timing new songs to tough parts of the course really helped me push through. Since the Lawyers Have Heart 10K is always seems harder than it should be, I decided to make a new playlist to get me out and back accross the Whitehurst Freeway. I started with my Zooma playlist, kept most of the new songs, and added enough others to have an hour-long playlist. This is what I came up with:

My (Annotated) Lawyers Have Heart Playlist

Lininig up at the start, getting through the crowd
Can’t Run But–Paul Simon 

First mile accross Whitehurst Freeway
Good Thing–Fine Young Cannnibals
Best Friend–The Beat/The English Beat
Girlfriend–Avril Lavigne 

Sunny stretch past Georgetown University
Too Bad About Your Girl–The Donnas
I Can Do Better–Avril Lavigne 
E.T.–Katy Perry 

Partial shade to the turn-around
Pain–Three Days Grace 
Feel Good Inc–Gorillaz 
Rain–Mika 

Turn-around after mile 3
Brown Eyed Girl–Boyz Nite Out 
I Ran (So Far Away)–Bowling For Soup 
Gone Daddy Gone/I Just Want To Make Love To You–Gnarls Barkley 

Back in the sun to the freeway
Higher–Taio Cruz 
Boom Boom Pow–Black Eyed Peas

Last mile accross Whitehurst freeway 
Price Tag–Jessie J 
Runaway Baby–Bruno Mars 
Walking On Sunshine–Aly & AJ 
Move Ya Baby–Various Artists Funky Step

It would have been great–if the course had been a 10K! Because of the heat and humidity, they cut it down to a 5K! “Pain” wasn’t the best song for the second pass across the Freeway, but it amused me. “Feel Good Inc.” was a good song for the push to the end.

I have a (planned!) 5K on June 24–maybe I will make one more playlist, although this 5K is so informal (part of a conference) I don’t even know if there is a course map.
