A fantastic playlist for jogging or chilling, courtesy iTunes Genius and my recently much-enhanced personal music collection

Happy, pretty, super-motivational and chock-brimming with musical skill and pizazz, here you have it: the music that, along with Amanda Palleschi, helped me run 10 or so miles this evening. (Yay for iPhones and running buddies )
