My Work Out Mix is in Major Need of an Overhaul!!!

Like a lot of folks out there I need music with a good beat to keep me going sometimes.


But I'm so bored with my gym mix that lately I've actually stopped using my ipod shuffle during my work outs. However, there's a major problem with doing this... major lack of motivation to move!!!!

I have to start training for the relay that I blogged about just below this, but I don't have any good music! And I can no longer run to any of the following:


Some Muse songs used to make me haul ass for my sprint intervals, now I'm dragging ass...



The beat of this Doves song along with a few of their other songs really used to motivate me (and make me want to drive at excessive speeds)


More crazy pounding drum beats used to = me pounding the pavement...but I'm wearing it out.


I have a remix of this song that is pushed up to a faster tempo and it's pretty awesome... but again, I'm tired of it!


I'M OPEN TO ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS FOR SOME NEW MUSIC!

I NEED TO START RUNNING MORE AND I NEED THE MOTIVATION!!
