Cool down - "Fire" by The Ohio Players (3:31) – After this running mix, you’d definitely feel the burn. “Fire” is a good slower song for stretching all the muscles out. I was reminded of this funky song from Hell’s Kitchen. This song was a number one on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles back in 1975.
Total Time: 61:20 - If you're a little OCD like me and think that being a minute too late, is too late, I suggest replacing "Let's Groove" with Donna Summer's "Heaven Knows" (3:38) for a total time of 59:23. You can also check your MP3 player and see if it has a cross fade option.That will shave a few seconds off of each song and create a more seamless run.

Having the hour (or half) of running is a great thing to clear up the mind. One of the best things for me about running, jogging, or walking is that running is great for someone who is horrendously uncoordinated. According to my Wii Fit, my balance has actually gotten better. Remember to always keep hydrated.
