"There&amp;amp;#8217;s really nothing less motivating than the sound of my own labored breathing. So while I plan to use the cheering fans and excitement all around me as my New York City marathon race-day soundtrack, when I&amp;amp;#8217;m training, these tunes are 98 percent responsible for pushing me on. See how ready this woman is to run? It&amp;amp;#8217;s because she knows she has an awesome playlist. Here, the basic tenets of creating your own motivational playlist: 1. Surrender your ego at the iTunes store. Everyone has a secret shame song that she secretly LOVES LOVES LOVES. If you&amp;amp;#8217;re using the volume controls correctly, nobody will know that you listen to &amp;amp;#8220;Eye of the Tiger&amp;amp;#8221; or Journey&amp;amp;#8217;s &amp;amp;#8220;Don&amp;amp;#8217;t Stop Believin&amp;amp;#8217;.&amp;amp;#8221; A lot. Besides, how far of those Judgeypants McFrance folks run lately. Uh huh. That&amp;amp;#8217;s what I thought. 2. Load up on songs that tell you how awesome you are at stuff. On race-day, you&amp;amp;#8217;ll be surrounded by cheerleaders. Until then, download a few. 3. This is no time for pretty ballads. Think pounding base, rhythms you can follow, and an infectious ear-worm of a hook. 4. Create one-tap access to your favorites songs when you need them most. This Sunday, I ran 12 miles (I know, right?!) and at about mile 8, when I was feeling the burn (and not in a good way), I cued up my lineup of emergency songs to push through the final 4 miles. Because I lost my sense of pride when I decided to wear hot pink running shorts with protein gel tucked in the back, here&amp;amp;#8217;s my own mini running playlist, lightly peppered with a few totally embarrassing but much loved selections. And contributed to by Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s own Kim Fusaro of Save the Date and Petra Guglielmetti from The Girls in the Beauty Department, my running mentors and most awesome supporters (thanks, ladies!).
