I put a LOT of work into this playlist, starting from 3 months ago. My plan was to strategically place songs that I really liked into this playlist and not listen to it during any of my training — that was a separate playlist. So, when it came time for the half and I heard those songs, it would get me pumped up — and it worked!
First song was appropriately the song that I finished my 8K to, so I had to carry it forward to start off the half marathon with that song. I “hacked” my finish-song today because it played at mile 12, so I kept it on repeat for 3 rounds until I passed that finish line. My girl Hailee Steinfeld with “Love Myself” — yes!
