Week three of marathon training is here. For this week, I’ve picked songs performed by women guaranteed to bring the giddy-up.

Flinty Kind of Woman, Dar Wiliams

Respect, Aretha Franklin

Like a Prayer, Madonna

I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor

Tiger, Paula Cole

Run the World (Girls), Beyonce

Love is a Battlefield, Pat Benatar

Heart of Glass, Blondie

Roar, Katy Perry

Fill It Up Again, Indigo Girls

Mars, Lori McKenna

Groove is in the Heart, Deee-Lite

Doo Wop (That Thing), Lauryn Hill

You Can Choose, Carrie Newcomer

You Oughta Know, Alanis Morrisette

P.S. These are all from my current music collection—no new downloads this week—but while Googling around I ran across this monster playlist. Wow!
