During the last few days I have really come to appreciate the power of music to motivate, energize, and lift sagging spirits. While out jogging on Saturday and Sunday, there came a moment in each workout in which I was bushed and wondering if I would make it through to the end at my current pace. On Saturday I was saved by "Round and Round," by Ratt as it began blasting from my MP3 player. I do not make it a habit of listening to "80's Hair Bands, but it occurred to me while browsing MusicMatch Downloads that some of the songs these bands put out could be energizing during exercise. Man, was I ever right! Following Ratt was Quiet Riot. By the time they were through I had a second wind and finished with flying colors. On Sunday, it was "All Fired Up," by Pat Benetar. Oh the power of rock 'n roll!
