Things I think when I run...

Options
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.

    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'

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

    This. Definitely this.

    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."

    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.

    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! )
