    Oh god allllllllll the time! nothing better than running or riding off road to songs like Spin the Black Circle or Go :D
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    I'd like to go running today, but it's colder than 30 degrees. Any suggestions? I don't have a treadmill where I'm at.

    I run 7-10 miles a day. Used to have a very varied play list but i found my self just waiting for the PJ songs to get that extra energy, so i made a mostly PJ list....

    Evenflow (greatest hits version)
    State of love and trust (greatest hits version)
    Go
    Animal
    RVM - best running song
    I used to have glorified g but i ended up hating it for running
    last exit
    satans bed
    corduroy
    hail hail
    brain of j
    given to fly
    mfc
    DTE
    get right
    save you
    green disease
    breakerfall
    insignificance
    greivence
    life wasted
    wws
    comatose
    severed hand
    big wave
    unemployable
    breath
    alone


    I will add blood based on other peoples recomendation from this thread.
    The other best band i find for running is Thursday. Check out the songs- Understanding in a car crash, cross out the I's, paris in flames, for the workforce drowning, counting 5-4-3-2-1.

    Looks like you are on the east coast. Are you running outside today?

    I love running in the cold...of course, it never gets THAT cold here.

    The key to running in the cold is a beanie and GLOVES. Most of the rest of your body will warm up with the activity of running, but hands and ears generally don't. Those two items will help keep you from feeling miserable.

    In terms of the rest, try a nice pair of running tights (I forget what they're called...they have a specific name, though) under shorts or pants, and a zip-up windbreaker and/or fleece jacket over your typical running shirt.

    I find there's nothing like that burst of energy you get from the 2nd half of Alive during a run....it just feels like the guitars and drums are pushing you when the solo kicks in, and before you know it when you know the 'Yeahs' are coming in, you stomp a little harder down on the floor during those parts. (thus catching more speed)

    At least for me it works like that. :)

    Yep, my older sister gave me running gloves about 2 years ago, and today was the first time I wore them. It was great, those puppies work! 3 miles in the cold. It was a sunny day so that was good. I had so many layers on it didn't seem that cold except when I had to gingerly run across the crunchy old snow with a little wind blowing around. Your suggestions worked :) As did Once and In My Tree.
