What do you think about while you run?

When I run, I am constantly looking at the timer, I try to focus on something else, and then soon im counting steps and thinking about how much longer I need to run.

Im wondering what everything else thinks about. I need to get my mind on something else!!

    Girl you need music..
    I never look at the time and today my songs made me go further than I planned on going.

    I am worried about how I'll do on a 5k without my music tho- Im so used to running to the beats..

    I always have music on so usually I'm singing the song in my head. Otherwise I am thinking about life in general.

    music distracts me. the head phones bother me.

    I work out in a small gym and there is a cd player in there and I thought bringing a cd to put in may help since then i dont have to worry about head phones, but the cd player doesnt work. ughhhhhhh

    Sometimes when I run and I really want to stop, I start thinking about how far I have come. A lot of times I remind myself how lucky I am to be able to run and just keep going!

    I do depend on my music though. I am addicted to rockmyrun.com
