Things I think when I run...

baseballgirl2027

1. Look, I'm going faster than that person! Sweet! Oh wait. They're on crutches.
2. Wow. That 80 year old just flew by me. I better pick it up.
3. Puppies!! In a stroller!!
4. Two minutes down. A million years to go.
5. Do I have to pee? I have to pee. No, wait. I don't. Oh yes. I do.
6. Are we done yet?
7. Three minutes down.
8. What do I want for breakfast when I'm done? Donuts sound good.
9. Stupid eating healthy. Screw the protein shake.
10. I want my protein shake!!!!
11. More puppies!! If I stop to pet them, should I pause my Garmin?
12. Never pause the Garmin. The Garmin doesn't lie. The Garmin is life.
13. If I run this pace for five minutes and that pace for five minutes and plan to go five miles, how many slices of pizza does that equal?
14. Are we done yet?
15. Wow. My heart rate is in the 150's. I give my patients medicine for those kind of numbers.

Is it going to rain? Nah I don't think so.
Was that a bird?
Nope...

It's notorious that every time I go out for a walk/jog, no matter what the rain forecast, I get hit with a stray downpour.

I love this! And I always stop to pet the puppies. Life is too short to run past puppies without stopping to say hello.

chloeealicee

I agree on the inner debate on whether or not to stop to pet a puppy or a cat so much ahahaha.... other thoughts that consume my mind are:


'oh look another runner! should i wave? i'm gonna wave and show support to my fellow runner *waves* ....oh god he just ignored me oh god oh god oh god why did i wave?'

'ahhh a curb is coming up *jumps* PARKOUR'

'note to self, never wear these pants again, these are not good pants...oH GOD GET ME OUT OF THESE PANTS'

'okay that's two miles done..i'm doing really good..only...oh crap wait i have double that to go still, kill me kill me kill me'

'wow, i suddenly have so much energy! is this a runners high?! ...oh no wait, i'm just running downhill now'

'i never want this run to end, i want to run forever, i'm going to run to china and start a new life'

'nope nevermind i can't even make it to that street lamp'

'i'm so going to train for a marathon, i can freaking do it! oh wait a marathon is 26 miles!? ...eh ok maybe a half marathon lol'

'oh god no i hate this song so much but it take 3782037 minutes to get my damn phone out of this damn fanny bag to change it'

'FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD'

YES. Pretty much also on my mind.

This. Definitely this.

rainydays5

LMAO! These are so funny. I just started running and was thinking how ADHD I was but now I know I am not alone, haha. My thoughts when I am biking though are another story. I ride outside of town in a very rural area. The other day I passed many beer cans and bottles, then a bong! YES, it was green and laying on the side of the road amongst those beer cans. After passing the bong, I passed many more beer bottles/cans and then a diaper. My first thought and mother in me was "wow! I hope all of those things do not belong to the same person." My second thought was "Wow! Someone has been having a really good time."

Regan45

1. Today will be my best time.
2. I feel great!
3. I can't do this.
4. I wonder if anyone else swallows bugs because they're breathing so hard.
5. Why did I download this song?
6. I'm almost 50 and I'm doing this!
7. She's in her 60s and just passed me.

rollinat

Love these! I have just started C25K and today my main thought was, if a friend of mine is competing in Ironman UK today, then surely I can manage 6 90s intervals! (I did, just, but was very glad to stop! Now, of course, I feel like I could have run forever! )

Tonya773

1. Ok here we go
2. You got this, feeling good

16. Oh Jesus where's the stop button

zeussmith718

stupid commercials on my radio
oh a good song
keep pushing just a little farther
if you slow before the normal rest point you will stop progressing
stop being a little b!tch and pick up the pace
more commercials uhhgg
push it up this hill wimp
I am glad I was lifting for 90 minutes before this.
oh good the rest point.. time to do pull ups on the playground equipment
get into a pull up contest with a random 5 yr old... barely win
back to running
work stuff for the next half hour while I end up on autopilot.

williams969

'oh look another runner! should i wave? i'm gonna wave and show support to my fellow runner *waves* ....oh god he just ignored me oh god oh god oh god why did i wave?'

lol I like that one, so me

look another person out for a run or walk, smile and nod smile and nod, here they come smile and nod
oh crikey I just nodded they would have acknowledged me if I had smiled! why didn't I smile o look another person, smile and nod smile and nod smile and nod, oh gosh I just smiled, she must think I'm a creeper, got to smile and nod smile and nod, o bollocks I'm not gonna smile or nod, these people are all mean, oh darn she smiled and nodded! and I just ran past, I so suck at this, smile and nod smile and nod............

LOL, I'm rolling here! I'm the same. Just when I think I've got the "runner's acknowledgment" etiquette down, I always feel I did it wrong and feel so embarrassed. From now on, I think I'll just be the "ignorer". So much easier, but then I'M the jerk embarrassing people for not acknowledging their smiling and nodding and waving.

Ugh! I'll never get it right! And now I will think of all this next run :laugh: Thanks/notthanks, everybody

TheDarkestStar87

Love this thread, I got such a monkey brain when running as well.

1. Ok there we go
2 is the door locked? Garmin on?
3. Today's gonna be a good one
4. Where do all these little flies come from? And why are they all aiming for my face?
5. There's the lady walking her dog I run past every day.
6. I hate hills. Seriously couldn't I have picked a flat route?
7. Yay, running downhill as fast as possible. I love the hilly routes.
8. What's for breakfast?
9. Squirrel!!
10. Why can't that stupid cyclist use his bell when riding past me? What if I'd moved sideways or something?
11. I know I could run a bit more if I wanted o but I'm soo tired...
12. No, stop moaning and keep going
13. Whoa, why is that cyclist ringing his bell, totally freaked me out. I almost jumped into his path
14. Ok last hill...
15. I need to go shopping tonight. What shall I have for dinner?
16. Sprint finish? But I'm so tired...
17. Stop whinging and do the patient, you're done afterwards anyway

fattymcrunnerpants

1. Gate closed, no doggies out, children are screaming they want to come... should have taken one of them.
2. Older child's bus stop... warm up over.
3. Oh hell, I forgot to reset the lap on Garmin.
4.Crap, reset lap button stuck, how am I supposed to know how fast I'm going when the freaking lap button won't work?
5. I know i'm going faster than that, this is still counting my warm up darn it!
6. Is that dog leashed? That dog better be leashed.
7. Crap, he's not leashed. Slow down, dont make eye contact.
8. Oh hell, he's growling and following me anyway.
9. Don't yell at the owner who just came out and is yelling at you. Just keep walking... dog is no longer a threat.
10. Dumb dog owner ruined my pace.
11. I should have brought older child, I'm not going that far.
12. Reset button! Reset button!

'ahhh a curb is coming up *jumps* PARKOUR'

Oh my word! Yes!

TutuMom41

Oh **** what did I get myself into...6 miles to my destination... 6 miles to get home damn have to keep going

hippiefemme

1) I love this song!
2) Getting sassy, let's shake it
3) Dancing while running/walking burns more calories, right?
4) Oh god, who saw me doing that?
5) Just run until the end of this song...
6) Okay run until the next song starts...
7) Of course there would be a commercial. Come on commercial
8) Commercials are, like, what, thirty seconds? Maybe a minute?
9) I'm pretty sure this commercial has gone on for at least four minutes
10) Twenty seconds?! I'm thinking it's time to walk for a minute.

bullhk

Usually I just get a few lines of a single song stuck in my head on repeat:

"Tell me why, ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why, ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why, I never wanna hear you say,
I want it that way"

Tuala42

1. one bunny
2. oh here's the section without a sidewalk, any cars coming?
3. two bunnies
4. this part of the sidewalk is always flooded, why?
5. three bunnies
6. there's the lady walking her little dog riding in a scooter
7. four bunnies, or was that three, lost track already

9. Ok I really think that was 5 bunnies now
10. can my knees handle the long route with all the extra cul-de-sacs today?
11. 6 bunnies? 7?
12. OK, I don't care if I have to stop jogging to skip this song, I am not listening to taylor swift on pandora
13. When are these people going to trim their trees so I don't have to duck while I'm jogging?
14. Geese! Is a group called a gaggle? I'm sure my brother would know, gotta ask him one these days.
15. Ok, gotta push it up Alicia's steep hill and I'm done.
