“Glee” has done a lot to change the entertainment industry and pop culture over the past year.
I could go on and on about how much I love the show for its choreography, its brilliant casting and its spot-on, deadpan humor.
But what I probably love most about this witty, hilarious show is the music.
According to iTunes, I have more than 115 songs sung by the “Glee” cast in my music library.
And I love them all.
My point? The show has managed to affect my running and my workouts.
Last night I finally downloaded the “Glee” holiday album and I swear I was skipping on my run this morning.
During the 6.4 miles I ran in Central Park, I wasn’t thinking about the cold, the darkness or the fact that I slept through a “monumental” lunar eclipse.
I was rocking out with the cast, feeling the holiday love.
When I got back to my apartment, my knees were a bit achy, my stomach was grumbly and my face was bright red from the wind.
But I felt so, so happy. Because I had a great new playlist running with me — and I finally covered some decent distance back at an 8:30 pace.
So, good morning! Don’t you think?

I just started watching Glee and I’m feeling a full obsession coming on. Also, Christmas music totally has me rocking my winter runs. Glad I’m not the only one!
I love running to Glee too!! My favorite for cool down is Poker Face by Rachel and her mother! Right now I have to admit my fave running song is Firework by Katy Perry, I don’t know why but it gets me going 🙂
Great songs! My favorite running song of the moment in Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons.
I LOVE Glee music and run to it too! It’s my favorite on Pandora. I loved Finn’s “Just the Way You Are.”
I love Glee! 🙂 I need to put some of their music on my playlist!
That’s an amazing pace. I am not a huge Gleek, but sometimes the songs are amazing. 115 is impressive.
Love playlists, thank you! Enrique is making a comeback to my iTunes library, lol.
