CN Tower: The Playlist

It is now less than two weeks until I make my attempt to climb the CN Tower (if you want to sponsor me or learn more about the cause, again, here is the link.)

I can tell that the day is getting close, because every time I walk past the tower on my way to work, I get butterflies in my stomach - knowing that I am venturing out to accomplish one of my goals fills me with a bizarre cocktail of anxiety and pride.

Things are going well training wise...I still need to cut down on my Pepsi intake (an uphill battle I am constantly fighting), but I have been getting to gym more often and working my legs as much as possible (running, elliptical, Stairmaster, lunges, squats, jump rope, etc.) As much training as I do, however, I know the hardest part is yet to come.

Yes my friends, I have to make a playlist for my climb.

It's a lot harder than you think, really. I have to find songs that will motivate me to take step after step, for all 1776 of them. I have to find words that will keep me upbeat and strong at 6:00 in the morning when I start my climb. I have to find melodies to keep me on pace and powerful to the very end.

This is where you come in.

What songs do you think I should put on my playlist. I'm open to ANY suggestion whatsoever. Whether it be the theme from Rocky to set the tone right from the start, or a crazy upbeat metal head-banger to get my blood pumping and my legs moving, I'll take it. I'm looking for what songs motivate YOU, and in turn, you think will motivate me.

The message board is open. A few days before my climb, I'll post the final playlist.

You can actually see my condo in this picture (for the sake of security, I'm not going to highlight which one.) However, I WOULD like to highlight that the tower is soooooooooo much taller than any of the condos nearby. So much.
