What do you think about when you run?

[HT_Black]

Every now and then, i start writing a manuscript inside my head; but more often than not it's just some mood music. Specifically, this mood music.

 

[wolfskin]

"Wow, I hope that bear doesn't catch me"

Depends on the situation. If I'm being forced to run, I usually focus on my legs, but if I'm just jogging somewhere I completely zone out, and I'm only aware of my surroundings enough to avoid running into something.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

I think about how much I hate running and how I wish to stop it immediately. It's very counter-productive.

Pretty much this, while plotting to kill the person or thing responsible for making me run.

 

[AvsJoe]

One of 3 things:


1) Get the f--- away from whatever's chasing me!
2) Dang it, I'm gonna be late!
3) How much I hate running.

Same here exactly. Cardio and I had a falling out about a decade ago and I don't particularly want to patch the relationship. I'll hike all day if you need me to but unless I'm in a life-or-death situation or I'm chasing the last bus, I don't run.

Sing usually...
People here me singing something strange (Slipknot) and assume I'm crazy.

whats chasing me.

 

[Jark212]

"oh god, oh god, oh god, It burns!!!"- In my head

While I play music in my mind...

 

[Blanks]

usually i think about what's going to happen to me when the guy whose chasing me catches up

 

[Incompl te]

Focusing on my breathing mostly. I sometimes start thinking and zoning out of what I'm doing.

 

[Dark Knifer]

I drift off, but I do this all the time. Also, I don't run, I just walk.

 

[Soxafloppin]

I think about me playing the awesome guitar solo that my iPod is playing.

Oh god this.

That or the current affairs of my life.

 

[AnnaIME]

I make sure to have a good audiobook. Running is so mindnumbingly boring that the book is what makes it possible for me to run at all.

And afterwards I feel so good about myself, and I spend a few nerdy minutes uploading the contents of my little running computer and looking at the pretty diagrams.

 

[bluefiresword]

Ow Ow OW OW! MY F-ING LUNGS ARE ON FIRE!

being fat has its disadvantages, but mp3 player always helps

 

[Kije]

"F**king short stamina bar! Lvl up already dammit! Why do I even have one of these stupid things anyway!? Cant I just get a 3rd person view and hold some button?"

"I hope they dont catch me"

 

[DSEZ]

storytimene time i ran 2 miles (back when i wasnt in good shape)i see this girl i liked all im thinking while im running to her house "this better be worth it this better be worth it this better be worth it" it was

 

[Vagabond_Samurai]

I either zone out while listening to music, thinking about something that makes me angry (screw Red Bull, rage gives me wings,) imagining that I'm being chased down by zombies/orcs/stupid people, that I'm running to save someone's life, or that I'm running towards a lady that I particularly enjoy.
