Running music?

[mousme]

Okay, flist, I need your help.

I know that some of you are runners and/or work out regularly. I am going to cave and get myself an iPod (a Shuffle), because running on the treadmill is so excruciatingly boring that I often contemplate committing hara kiri with my water bottle in an effort to end the agony.

That being said, I have very little by way of digital music, at least not in mp3 format, because I have up until now listened almost exclusively to CDs (ever since I had to give up my beloved cassettes and vinyl records). I also have very little that would serve as good work-out music. The stuff I listen to is either too mellow, or doesn't have the right kind of beat to it.

In short, I need recommendations for mp3s that I can load onto my iPod so as to make my workouts less mind-numbingly boring.

Suggestions? Please?

This is a good comm for picking up MP3s, tagged by artist. I don't have workout music, since I bellydance and it kind of comes with it's own music, but if you like instrumental stuff, I would recommend E. S. Posthumous. They're pretty awesome (and produced my favorite piece of music to date-- <3 Nara <3)
