Last night while driving home from a much needed girls night out (a few friends invited me for sushi and gelato) the song Blackened by Metallica came on the radio. I was immediately transformed back to the 13 year old version of myself dressed in head to toe black with a my staple patched up jean jacket, long hair and bangs. As I jammed out listening louder then any self respecting 30-something mom should I thought… "YES! I need a new running mix"
So I came home, hit iTunes and put together the most awesome mix ever! Seriously this was exactly what i needed to attempt 15 miles. And even though it wasn’t long enough for my 2 hour 53 minute run this morning the fast angry beats kept me going.
Oh yeah did I tell ya.. I RAN 15 MILES THIS MORNING!
Well I didn’t run the whole thing. I broke to walk about every 3 miles but I swear that gave me WAY more energy and stamina through the whole run. The marathon is only 4 short weeks away and even though I’m not as ready as I wanted to be I’m excited. I’ve been looking at the course map and mentally preparing for it. I’m planning a special running mix and you can bet most if not all of these songs will be on it!
So here’s the mix. Let me warn you now, it’s very explicit. If you are easily offended don’t even read the titles. I’ve always been a fan of this style of music but I realize it’s not for everyone.
I feel compelled to end this post with a ROCK ON! so I will.
ROCK ON!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

AWESOME!!! One of my faves on that list is Judith by A Perfect Circle. I don’t see any Tool on there. One of my faves too. (given that you like A Perfect Circle)
I like to use Tool (and A Perfect Circle) as my power songs. They really help me power through.
That being said, I also like Wham! ;)
Rock on!
I admire you for running 15 miles. I really don’t think I could do it , at least not yet.
Some of these songs sound like the songs of my past, and some of them actually are songs of my past. It’s amazing how energizing this “dark music” is. I can never run good enough with classical music playing in my ears. It just does not work.
I am sure I will be coming back to this list in the future to find a few good running songs. Thanks for compiling this list.
Wow! I can’t imagine running 15 miles! You are amazing! Glad your new mix helped you rock the run and can’t wait to read about your conquering the marathon!
I have known and loved quite a few of these but I guess when I started running I always ran to techno/house music – maybe I’ll have to give a similar mix a try! Great job on 15 miles!
you never cease to amaze me =D
That is an awesome running list! Definatley stealing a few fo rmy own :) Great that you could find some inspiration! Great job.
Great job, Roni! I’m heading out now to run 30 minutes. If you ever feel discouraged, just remember how far you’ve come!
Rock on, Roni! Rock on….. |_|
That’s fantastic! Great job getting out there and doing it. There’s GNR on my Ipod too. :)
This has always been the kind of music I prefer to run to. Angry music with a strong beat helps spur me on! (For much SHORTER distances than what you run, of course.) A year or so ago I posted a running mix that included similar songs…and you have some good suggestions! I’m going to make note of them. :)
That playlist reminds me so much of one of my good HS friends. Not my type of music but she loved it. It was always a challenge for us to find things to agree to listen to.
I’m glad the music got you through your run. Most people don’t expect my play lists either so its fun to be surprised by others tastes. :-)
I knew I liked you for a reason :) not only do you set your mind to something and do it, but you have IMPECCABLE taste in music! I LOVE working out to System of a Down and Disturbed :)
now this my dear, is a killer mix! love it
LOVE IT! You go girl! I am inspired by your determination. Gotta get my run in today and maybe I can push it further with some of these songs!
I thought the two miles I walked today was a feat…15 running?! Wow! That is awesome! Good luck with the marathon!
Do you usually take walk breaks when you run? I can’t imagine doing it any other way. The only times I don’t stop to walk are during races!
Hey, lovin that list! Did you have to urge to play any air guitar on the way? That would have stirred the air guitarist in me and that would have caused a fall. I am clumsy enough on my walks! Rock on Ronnie! I knew there were more closet headbangers out there, thanks!
Dude, I haven’t heard Three Little Pigs in eons! Awesome mix, congrats on 15 miles.
INCREDIBLE!
You’re an inspiration Roni… and I LOVE that playlist.
I had no idea you were such a metal head! You are even MORE bloody awesome now, hehe :) Well done on the 15 miles, woohoo!
Oh my God roni, I thought the only person on this planet that liked Green Jelly was my husband! It’s so funny to find Three little pigs on your play list :)
Wow, go Roni! I really think you’ll be just fine for the marathon. I’ve heard that for a marathon, you just need to get up to like 18-20 miles before the actual marathon, then you just run extra long that one day. I could be wrong though. Regardless, you’re DOING this despite your current living situation and responsibilities of working full time and being a full-time mother and wife! You are so inspiring!
AWESOME job!!
I ran my first 5k yesterday – Race for the Cure, NYC – it was AMAZING!!!!!
Congrats on the run! That is too funny because that was me in high school! I feel so far away from that version of myself now but once in a while when metallica comes on the radio I turn it up too! ;)
Roni~ Wow… I just found your site and love it. I once too was very heavy… over 300 lbs…. I’ve done every diet and had gastric bypass in 2002. In 2007, I did Jenny Craig and lost over 60 lbs. Now, as a few pounds sneaked up on me I am doing WW online. I have struggled with my weight since the 4th grade. The last 3 years I added exercise and lost more weight. I started running and did my first 5K Sept. 2008. I am currently training for a 10K on Nov. 1st. Affter RUNNING 10 miles yesterday, I decided to try a 1/2 Marathon in November. Being inspired by your blog, finding 2 friends to train with, I feel I can do what ever I put my mind too! Oh and the reason for this post.. my running partner was blowing past me yesterday b/c of all her new songs on her ipod, so you reminded me to go online and get some new running tunes! Note to your followers… I am a single mom, works full-time and have active kids. If I can find time to exercise, anyone can!
That’s awesome, Roni!! Congrats to you!
Roni, you have similar taste to me, but my choices are always more punk than metal. Give these a try for variety: best running songs ever: Dropkick Murphys, “Shipping Up to Boston,” “Fortunate Son” — both great for sprints; also, Blink 182: “All the Small Things”; Pennywise: “Bro Hymn Anthem;” Social Distortion: “Mommy’s Little Monster” and “Another State of Mind”; best steady pace jogging songs: Moby, “Extreme Ways”; Madonna’s “Hung Up”; White Stripes, “Seven Nation Army.” All of these make me run faster, longer, harder. In fact, until I found the right mix, I didn’t run at all. Makes all the difference in the world.
Girl….I love you list!! You just got me pumped…..going to see Metallica on Tuesday and Thursday in concet. Have fun with the new list….their music gets me motivated. We must have the same kind of taste in music…i love the whole list!!
That list is AWESOME! Many of my fav bands make that list. Green Jelly – that sure takes me back – back to the days they were Green Jello.
Congrats on the 15miles and with a great pace too.
wow running for almost 3 hours… intense!
15 miles is awesome Roni!
So you are training for a marathon? I did one in March and I’m planning on doing one in December also.
AWESOME!
Love the mix. I have most of them on my iPod too.
shut…up…
15 miles!!??? You are a freakin rock star!!!
Best. Mix. Ever.
Congratulations on getting through such a long run! I love that you are such a metal head.
Okay, I knew I liked your blog before, but seeing all that Metallica (and not just Enter Sandman…) solidifies my membership in the Obsessive Daily Reading of Roni’s Weigh Club. Congratulations on your run and an awesome playlist!
