I should have given you one more -- Bittersweet Symphony, by the Verve, is the best song to end a run with! Somehow it never gets old, and really helps me kick it in the last half mile.
I also highly recommend anyone to run to something like Enya's greatest hits. Cheesy, I know, but you'd be surprised how really happy/uplifting music can affect a run. As helpful as badass hip-hop and rock can be, melodic tunes can make you feel like you're in your own movie, which I always find enjoyable. :)
