Motivation Monday

I’m flipping the switch a bit for today’s Motivation Monday and posting a song that helped motivate me to get off my pasty white arse this weekend and go for a jog thru the park (I know, I know, I’m in So Cal so we’re actually able to still run outside – sorry Shtayph).  Say hello to John Newman, a soulful lad who released this song “Love Me Again” in the UK back in June.  I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind for 24 hours.  What can I say, the Brits always have the tip on the best music.

If you’re looking for a rousing song to add to your running rotation, look no further:

In an interview with Digital Spy, Newman was asked if he sensed that the song had something special about it in the studio. He said, “Yeah. The guy I wrote it with, we turned around and had massive grins on our faces thinking, ‘There’s something good here’. But you just never know how good it is, you know?”.

Ain’t that the truth?  Have a great start to the week everyone!

xoxo,

  • I like it! Glad you posted this b/c my running track list is STALE. I just downloaded some 90’s-era Jock Jams in the form of “Move This” (Technotronic) and it sent me into a mad sprint. Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” still always does it for me too. xoxo!

  • Steph, you’re the bestest ever… BUTTTTTTT why don’t we leave the music posts to ol’ Sheep. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA XOXO, Me

  • Thanks Karrie – just added this little diddy to my running list! I too had to get off my arse on Saturday am to run, didn’t want to because it looked….wait for it….too cold out (I know, I hail from MI NO EXCUSES) but I eventually went and music totally helps!

    Good one!
