Music to run to

I need some new songs to listen to while I workout. I am training for a 10k and have been running 4 days a week so I am getting pretty sick of my current playlists. Got any ideas for me?

Jenna Fischer shared her list with SELF magazine, so I might poach some from there. What do you like to listen to when you are kicking some ass?

Oddly enough, sometimes I like kick-ass music when I work out and sometimes I like soothing music (mostly cause it takes my mind elsewhere).

But here are some favorite "kick-ass" songs I work out to:

Wake Up Call, Maroon 5
Shake It Off, Mariah Carey
American Boy, Estelle (w/Kanye West)
Crazy in Love, Beyonce (w/Jay Z)
Window in the Skies, U2 (play this one at the end when you need to summon the energy for the end of the race)

I'll second "Crazy in Love" and add "So What" by Pink.

Then there are also the oldie but goodies that get me going: "Here Comes the Sun," "Build Me Up Buttercup," and "God Only Knows." These songs more make me smile and help me remember that I'm enjoying the workout.
