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!

If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -

I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...]

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!
