....and now the concluding instalment of 'groovy jogging tunes to get me going, get me running, get me rocking, and hopefully get me 26 miles and 365 yards'........
Let Love Be Your Energy (Robbie Williams) - 'if you've got no love for me then I'll say goodbye' (don't know why but I give a mock salute on the word 'goodbye', lots of funny looks in the gym...!)
Let The River Run (Carly Simon) - 'Let all the dreamers wake the nation'
The Living Daylights (A-ha) - 'Set your hopes up way too high, Living's in the way we die'

Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now (Starship) - 'If this world runs out of lovers, We'll still have each other'
Ooh ahh....just a little bit (Gina G) - Well I told you this blog would be honest! Guilty pleasure this one, with the emphasis on guilty. For some reason I do a little dance routine to this aswell!
Pink Sunshine (Fuzzbox) - Great beat, plus I also just love the phrase 'Pink Sunshine, by Fuzzbox'!
Positivity (Stevie Wonder) - 'Some people live in what was and what they could have been, As opposed to living in a what is and how much they can, And be the first to complain about nothing in life going their way, The attitude is "that I can't do nothing 'bout, And very happy with just breathing in and out, The ones that when you say "lets go make a difference", They'll say "naw that's OK"
Proud (Heather Small) - 'What have you done today, to make you feel proud?'
Reach (S Club 7) - DUM DUM DUMMM, DUM DUM DUMMMBA DUMBA DUM DUM DUM!
Rev It Up (Bewitched) - It's just so blummin' cheerful!!
The Rhythm Of Life (Sammy Davis Jnr) - 'sigadigadigadurgan'
Right Here, Right Now (Fat Boy Slim) - The way the beat builds up, feels so intense
Rollercoaster (Bewitched) - 'I can't believe I'm doing thiiiiiis, I can't believe I'm DOING THIIIIIIIIIIIIIS, AAAAAAAAAAAGGGH!!!!'
Searching My Soul (Vonda Shepard) - 'I've been searchin' my soul tonight, I know there's so much more to life, Now I know I can shine a light, To find my way back home'
Second Hand News (Fleetwood Mac) - 'Bam-Bam-Bam-Bam-B-B-Bam, Bam-Bam-Bam-Bam-B-B-Bam, Bam-Bam-Bam-Bam, Bam-Bam, Bam-Bam, Do-Doodle-eee-Do' (that's what I sing anyway)
Shine (Shannon Noll) - 'Get up, get up, get up, get up, Lift your head, C'mon, c'mon, Get up out of bed, Today's the day you hold the world, With your song'
So What's The Fuss (Stevie Wonder) - Turn up the bass for the intro!!
Some Of My Lies Are True (Huey Lewis and The News) - 'Sooner or later when you say I love you, You're gonna realise that some of my lies are true'
Sound of the Underground (Girls Aloud) - 'The beat of the drum goes round and round'
Stop The Rock (Apollo 440) - fantastic beat!
Take Me Out (Franz Ferdinand) - serious guitar riffs!
Things Can Only Get Better (D:Ream) - 'You ain't never gonna know me, But I know you'
This Will Be An Everlasting Love (Natalie Cole) - 'Huggin'and squeezin'and kissin'andpleasin' togetherforever throughrainorwhatever' not to mention 'SolongasI'mlivin'trueloveI'll begivin' toyou I'llbeservin'causeyou'resodeservin'
Tubthumping (Chumbawumba) - 'I get knocked down, but I get up again, You're never gonna keep me down'
Two Tribes (Frankie Goes To Hollywood) - Another intro in perfect rhythm with my running!
UP! (Shania Twain) - 'When everything is goin' wrong, Don't worry, it won't last for long, Yeah, it's all gonna come around. Don't go let it get you down, You gotta keep on holding on'
Warriors (Ronan Hardiman) - Instrumental......raw....dark...power.....
The Voice (Ultravox) - 'Native these words seem to me, All speech directed to me, I've heard them once before, I know that feeling'
Wave Your Flag (David Bisban & Knaan) - 'Give me freedom, Give me fire, Give me reason, Take me higher'
When The Going Gets Tough (Billy Ocean) - 'I got something to tell you, I got something to say, I'm gonna put this dream in motion, Never let nothing stand in my way' (no double-negative sarcasm please)
When Tomorrow Comes (Euruthmics) - 'When you need someone to depend upon when tomorrow comes'
Well, that's it! There will no doubt be a few toe-tappish, foot-stompish additions over the next six months - I'm currently on about 4 hours and twenty minutes of music so another ten songs should get me to the finish (any nominations?) - but these for me are top of the list when it comes to eliciting positivity, power, strength, energy and courage; I don't know about you but I think this is a successful recipe for completing a marathon.
Give them a try sometime. Who knows?!...you might even start liking Gina G..... Okay that might be hoping for a bit too much - and you might want to steer clear of Bewitched - but the rest are pretty good; promise!!
