Forums >General Running>What do you do while running?
Let 'em rip at fixed intervals. And give random people the finger when I'm in the mood for fartlek.

Generally I think about setting the world record for various race distances. If I catch myself thinking about work I yell at myself to stop it.

You may be right
For some reason I spit (a lot) when I run.
And I am more of a spitter than a nose blower.
Don't believe everything you think.
I solve the world's problems. You're welcome!
You're not doing a very good job of it so far.
I let my mind go where it wants. This could include: observing nature and whatever else is around me. watching the sun rise. thinking through problems. planning meals or the day's activities. praying. worrying about getting re-injured. keeping an eye on my pace. planning where I would run to if I was attacked. thinking about the other runners I see (not so many others around these days -- it's too cold and dark when I run). thinking about work stuff. deciding on Christmas gifts.
I let my mind go where it wants. This could include:
All of the above, and:
"Who would care if i drop dead, RIGHT NOW"
(I'm weird)
not bad for mile 25

In the grand, universal scheme of things, it probably wouldn't make much difference. Nothing personal.
I run a lot on a treadmill. For long runs I have a TV with a DVD player and a stack of movies.
I work through math calculations and admonish drivers who don't look both ways while rolling through stop signs on right turns.
I wanna say I have deep philosophical thoughts, but the truth is I listen to country and western songs...

You know the movie "what women want" where Mel Gibsons' character has two secretaries? Well in the movie he can hear what women are thinking. When he looks his secrataries he doesn't hear anything because they don't think, that's me.
Check out my surroundings, listen to ipod, think over things that are bothering me, go over what I have to buy at Trader Joe's, fart/cough (sometimes at the same time), pull down shorts when they ride up, and on occasion, give smiles or nods to people or animals I pass by.
I run at O dark thirty and I always wonder if I drop dead right now would a car run over me before it see's me? Then I move out of the middle of the road.
