Tuning up my workout

I am by no means a runner, but I’m trying to become one. I got an MP3 player for my birthday last year and I love it. It’s really helping me with my workouts. I find if I have the right song playing, I can run or go on the elliptical for 40 minutes and not even realize it. I find the elliptical easier on my joints, plus I don’t get as winded. But I have set a goal for myself of being able to run for 3 miles, either on a treadmill or on the track, by summer. I’m up to 1¼ miles… with the rest of the time spent walking briskly. I’m trying to work my way up. I also need to get better about adding strength training. I'm posting a list of songs I like for running. I would love to get some suggestions. Post them in comments!!!
