Two things that surprise me – it’s already time for another Tunes Tuesday, and we’re already into the 5th month of 2017! How the heck did April go so quickly?
The Tunes Tuesday linkup is hosted by Steff from Run Steff Run, Kimberly from Kooky Runner, and me! We’d love you to link up with us and share your favorites. Since it’s the start of a new month, the theme is motivating music!
So far, I’ve shared the following motivating music for Tunes Tuesday:
This month, I’m just keeping it simple with a couple of songs I’m enjoying right now. Check it out!

Tunes Tuesday: Motivating Songs for May
I really hope that you’ve enjoyed the Tunes Tuesday posts since we’ve started in January. It’s been quite the challenge to keep up a rapid-fire list of songs each week that are fresh, interesting, motivating, and a great addition to your running and workout playlists! Hopefully, it’s been clear that I’ve been doing my best to continue to provide you with some quality content here on the blog!
With that said…I honestly couldn’t come up with a creative, grand theme for this week. Forgive me! So instead, I’m sharing just a couple of songs that I’m enjoying right now that give me a boost!
Sia ft. Sean Paul – Cheap Thrills
I absolutely love this song…Sia is amazing and I’ve been a fan of Sean Paul since high school – what a great collaboration! This song definitely motivates me to dance…when no one’s watching, haha!
Calvin Harris – My Way
This is just a great song. Calvin Harris will never be broke another day in his life…hit after hit after hit! This is a great song to add to your workout playlist and stay motivated to keep up the hard work!

I just heard the Sia song for the first time this weekend. It’s so good!
Oh it’s a great one! Her newest album is so good!
I can’t beleive that the year is almost half over…like WTH?!I love Calvin Harris, especially that song 🙂
2017 is flying way too fast! Calvin Harris is definitely one of my favorites…I had this song in my head for days!
Thank you for the name of the Sean Paul song! I’ve been trying to find it, but hadn’t ! I don’t’ listen to the radio.
No problem, Ana! I love Sean Paul!
That Sia song is fun! Sean Paul has such a “reggae” voice!
You can throw Sean Paul on anything and he makes the song that much better!
I love both of these songs. There’s a surprise. Not! 😀
We definitely share similar tastes in music 🙂
I love both of those songs. Cheap Thrills gets stuck in my head all the time. 😉
And now I’ve got it stuck in my head again! Such a fun song!
I love that Sia song, it always perks me up 🙂
Me too – and this was the first time I saw the music video, I love it!
