Musak Monday

I am a doer. I like doing shit. Running, hiking, yoga, swimming, sky-diving, pilates, hanging upside from the ceiling... You could probably lock me in a gym and as long as there were protein bars and water I'd be fine.

If I had my way (read way more $$) I'd probably spend my time doing volunteer work and working out (and traveling, natch). I know you've heard of weird people like me, the people who always have to be doing something, who feel better after a run than they do after a beer (but it's close) and always have to have music while we do it. So, this playlist is for us, the movers, the twitchers, the people who were brainwashed by Nike and think 'Just Do It' is the 11th Commandment.
