After my flirtation with the exercise bike, I have returned in full force to the elliptical machine. My “Thanksgiving Revolution” actually started October 1 this year, and I am going strong, averaging at least 5 days per week.
Here is my current play list. Feel free to contact me for the source of these songs. They give me a nice pace variety. The songs are upbeat and encourage me to work harder. The last column is supposed to represent the beats per minute, but the programs are not that accurate. The only song that might get removed soon is I’ve Been to Memphis for being a bit too fast.

I found some of the songs on a very interesting blog post – Best Running Music Playlist: #3 — Marathon Mixes for a 8 – 9.5 min pace (150 – 170 bpm)
You may recognize others as songs that have been in my workout playlist for several years.
Enjoy.
