It's Peachtree time again!

If you know me, you know that music is a huge part of my life. Like one of my fellow bloggers, John Saddington, I listen to music while I blog. One of my favorite times to listen to music is when I run. Music helps me get in the zone and clear my mind while I exercise.

Once again this year, I will be running in the Peachtree Road Race on July 4. This will be my fourth year running the race (I ran it in 2008, 2010, and 2011) and I am really excited. Last year, I started creating a playlist for my iPod for the race. With the race right at three months away, I decided to do the same thing this year. Unfortunately I have an infected toenail right now, so I cannot test out the playlist until it is better (it’s almost there – probably just a couple more weeks).

Here are the songs on my 2012 Peachtree Road Race playlist:

• Hello Good Morning (radio edit) – Diddy – Dirty Money
