In preparation for the Her Times 5K, I gave our DJ a list of cool women-power songs. I compiled the list by emailing random friends and coworkers and asking them to add to the list. Here's what we came up with.
* "Respect" -- Aretha Franklin
* "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves" -- Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin
* "Express Yourself" -- Madonna
* Ladies Night - Kool and the Gang
* Girls Night Out - The Judds
* I'm Just a Girl - No Doubt
* Vogue - Madonna...this is kind of a girly song!
* "Bitch" - Meredith Brooks
* "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman"
* "Any Man of Mine" - Shania Twain
* "American Girls" - County Crows
* "Holaback Girls" - Gwen Stefani
* "Brown-Eyed Girl"
* "Closer to Fine" - Indigo Girls
* This one's for the girls" -- Martina McBride
* Fighter -- Christina Aguillara
* Survivor -- Destiny's Child
* I Will Survive -- Gloria Gainer
* Girls Just Wanna Have Fun -- Cyndie Lauper
* Independent Women — Destiny’s Child
Can you think of any more? If so...add to the list (post a comment or email me at heather.cass@timesnews.com).
Wouldn't it be cool to go to itunes.com and create a custom girl-power CD with these songs. Perfect for running to or...playing on those days when you need a pick-me-up.
For a report on the race, see my other blog "Runner's Notes."

How about “I am woman” by Helen Reddy! Anyone girl growing up in the 1970’s played that song over and over in their bedroom!
