What To Think About?
So I went running again today. Three miles, like usual. This time, after my 5 minute warm up walk, I ran 25 minutes straight. I have to say that I am very pleased with myself. :) I have one problem with running (other than the inevitable stitch in my side). It's the fact that when I am running all I can think about is the fact that I am running. This is true even when I am listening to music. My thoughts drift from "I feel great, I know I can do this" to "I am hating every minute of this" to everywhere in between. Russ says that he like running alone because he likes to be alone with his thoughts. I don't have any thoughts other than about running. Any suggestions about how to change my thinking or attitude? Am I destine to a life of running misery? Or will time change my thinking?

Your mind will probably get bored of the "I'm running" thoughts soon. My problem is I go running when I'm mad, so then I replay everything in my head and get more upset. Not fun. Good luck.
That's awesome! I wish my knees could handle all that running! I also wish I could give you something cool to think about while running, but alas, when I run, I can only think about how bored I am, and how slow time is passing. Ha ha! But yay for you! Keep up the good work!
I have the exact same problem! If you find an answer please let me know. I battle that every time I run. The only thing that helps me is if I can find someone to go with me.
Nicole, it's because you have such a wonderful life that you don't think of anything when you run. I always think of my problems and how I can fix them. How lucky you are that you don't have one other thing to think about :)
