Music can be a great motivator when out for a run. I don't often run with music, unless I am alone and running more than about 8km, but it can be a great way to keep you pumped up, when fatigue sets in.
I really want to mention here that it is VERY important to remember safety when running with music. Keep the music low enough that you can hear it, but still hear your surroundings. I also only wear one ear bud. More important than having fabulous tunes, is being able to hear what is going on around you!
Here are a few songs from my iPod playlist. What songs keep YOU motivated?
