I never thought of Christmas music as being something I would listen to while running to keep me motivated until my wife mentioned it a couple of days ago. I then saw a post on Facebook regarding Christmas music and thought; could she be right (again)? So to the internet I went in search of Christmas inspired music that I would run too.
In no particular order, here is the list that I will have on my IPod this season. I originally wanted a Top 10, then after much searching, I realized it would have to be a Top 12, but couldn’t figure out which one to get rid of, so I now have a Top Baker’s Dozen list, which makes sense, considering one of my wife’s many talents/professions is baking!
Enjoy!
