17 Again

No this is not a post pertaining to to a movie starring Zac Efron or anything else he does (honestly, he creeps me out a little) but I love anything Matthew Perry does… Could he be any more hilarious!? (Any Chandler fans out there? Bueller?)

No instead, this is of an entirely different nature.

Last week, I worked from my parents house, and on my drive out from SF that morning, the radio stations were full of talk, talk, talk and no music. I wanted some tunes.

Enter iTrip. Enter Pandora NSYNC station. I had an inspiration and I just went with it.

This is what my running playlist has been missing!

When I was in high school I lived for boybands and pop music. (OK so maybe I still do.)

I saw the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, NSYNC and 98 Degrees in concert more times than I care to admit. (It was more than 5, less than 15).  😉

Did anyone else ever feel bad for the 3 that weren't JC or Justin?

I forgot what great running music songs like “Bye, Bye, Bye”, “The Call”, “Stronger”, “Crazy” (ahhh Britney in her glory days, I miss you) and “It’s Gonna Be Me” can be.

I ran both of my runs this weekend to that Pandora station, and was probably grinning cheek-to-cheek like the teenybopper I once was am.

They even threw some solo JT and Michael Jackson in for good measure.

I miss the old Britney.

And “He Loves You Not” by Dream. Anyone else remember Diddy’s first foray into putting a girl group together? I chose not to either until it started blasting in my ears.

I didn’t skip one song.

My music just got a much needed upgrade (not unlike the Situation’s latest pay-day to not wear Abercrombie and Fitch clothing) and I cannot wait for my next run!

Backstreet Boys > NSYNC as far as I was concerned. Originals.

What kind of music really gets you running?

Were you a boyband fan?
