The drinking stops tonight. Rocks Off is joining 30,000 other crazy, hardy souls to run the Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Half Marathon this Sunday. (We're running the half - it's only our second race ever.) The past several months have been filled with long tedious runs in all kinds of weather, speed training, sore muscles and exhaustion. Someone please have a beer ready for us at the end.

Forget The Boss and Bob Seger. We need at least two hours of running songs to keep us motivated over 13.1 miles. Below, the Rocks Off Half-Marathon Playlist. Do you have a running playlist of your own? Leave your suggestions in the comments.

"Run, Run, Run," The Velvet Underground

"Runaround Sue," Dion

"Run," Air

"Going the Distance," Cake

Okay, Rocks Off knows this song is about car races. Or, errr, something else. But it's still got a good beat for pounding... the pavement.

"Nowhere To Run," Martha and the Vandellas
