Progress report: We have now incorporated both sprints and morning workouts into our routine and cripey it's not easy going straight from REM to RUN. Hardest part of our day, in fact. Of course, once you get going it's all worthwhile and it truly does set the tone for a better day.

So knowing that pain equals gain in the long-run helps drag us out the door at 7 a.m., but so does a new and improved playlist and this one is particularly exciting: Iconic classics and the coolest new songs.

Please let us know what you think and add a comment in the space below with your favourite tunes so we can add them to next week's playlist.

p.s. Think of this list as a tasting sampler of good stuff to feed to your MP3 player. Unfortunately, many of the songs only play for 30 seconds.
