The Secret Shame of Your Running Music Mix

13

Somewhere on that carefully crafted mix of songs you've labored over endlessly to create the perfect collection of music for your runs/workouts lies a terrible secret. There's is that one song that is so infectious and upbeat you feel compelled to include it but if ever asked if you like you'd flat deny.

For me, it's Bronski Beat. To this day I find it absolutely impossible to omit "Tell Me Why" from my running music mix. Because each and every time it comes on it provides me a burst of energy no matter how exhausted and worn out I might be.

I'm a child of the 1980s so my embarrassment is tempered somewhat that this song can now be safely considered retro enough to be somewhat hip. But believe you me, if anyone in my high school knew I regularly ran to the songs by an openly gay British synthpop band I would never have lived it down. Hell, even admitting you liked the Cure back then put you pretty much in the "weird" category by default.

Alright, now lets hear about yours.
