Happy Tuesday everyone! Thank you to everyone that has joined us for this link-up this year. Starting in August, we will be moving Tunes Tuesday from a weekly to monthly format. We will still have themes but feel that a monthly format may help more people participate. The theme for August will be End of Summer Songs. Please check the Tunes Tuesday page later on this month for more information on the new format and the themes for the rest of the year!
As always, I’m thrilled to host this link up with Janelle and Steff !
This week’s theme is pump up music. I don’t know about you, but my playlist is currently FULL of pump up jams. Between marathon training and running in the crazy humidity, I need music more than ever to get me through my runs. What I love about pump up music is that it can totally change your mood during a run and give you that extra boost that you need! Here are two songs currently on my summer running playlist!
Song: Perm
Album: 24K Magic
Artist: Bruno Mars
Genre: R&B / Soul / Funk
Year Released: November 2016
…and if you really wanna to jam out to this song, check out Bruno’s performance of this song on the BET Awards.
Song: Humble
Album: Damn
Artist: Kendrick Lamar
Genre: Hip Hop
Year Released: March 2017

Definitely! When I’m slogging through the hot and humid runs, a good pump up song can give me just a little bit of energy lol
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
I had never heard that Bruno Mars song just added to my spotify thanks!
Marcia says
Bruno Mars is so talented! The pump up songs I have were put there by my husband many yes ago. I still have them because they make me laugh. They’re mostly songs from beer commercials and the theme from Monday Night Football.

Panama by Van Halen is my go to pump up song. I always seem to get an extra pep in my step when it first starts playing.
