    Nothing. My own thoughts. The sound of nature around me. The wind through the trees. The sound of my footfalls on the road.

    Here's why I don't listen to anything while I run: Years ago my friend was running with her Walkman and didn't hear the car behind her' she stepped in front of it, got hit, and was lucky all she broke was her leg.

    I run outdoors, and I want to hear the vehicles around me.

    So my new running mix is all over the place. It all songs that I enjoy and some are songs I haven't listened to in awhile. I decided to shuffle my songs instead of trying to create a set song order. Here is a sample of what I came up with:
    The Hardest Ever-will.i.am
    Won't Back Down-Eminem
    Wild Ones-Flo Rida
    The Devil Went Down to Georgia-Charlie Daniels
    Black and Yellow-Wiz Khalifa
    Jump Around-House of Pain
    What's a Girl Gotta Do-Basement Jaxx featuring Paloma Faith
    Heart Breaker-Pat Benatar
    I love Rock-n-Roll-Joan Jett
    Kyoto-Skrillex
    Titanium-David Guetta and Sia

    I like a mix of The Hives (never a slow song!), KMFDM, Amanda Palmer, Franz Ferdinand, Rob Zombie, Florence + the Machine, The Black Ghosts, Does it Offend You, Yeah? (yes, that is the band's name), MIA. Pretty eclectic, but it keeps me energized.

    My breathing and my feet touching the ground (hopefully as lightly as possible).

    I just put on a station on pandora, but usually tune it out anyways! Lol. Running is my time to just think and forget about everything I don't want to deal with. I go to my happy place and think about whatever I feel like thinking about and I don't have to do anything I don't want to. It's MY time for ME! It is nice though to have some background music so I don't have to hear my panting!!!! I like Jack Johnson, it's nice and peaceful and sets me in a good mood for a good day

    I listen to nature until I start wheezing too loud.

    I'm all about the sounds of nature. ............Or in my case, the sounds of the city.

    I watch downloaded TV shows or anime. They're usually about 30 minutes long too. And it takes my eyes off the timer (and hence eyes off it too) so I don't think about "how much longer do I have to run".

    A car ran into me while jogging in my neighborhood. Thankfully I wasn't seriously injured. Ever since then I now use the elliptical that my best friend gave me because she didn't like me running outside.
