I ran track in high school. I have always loved running and often go on long runs to clear my head. And when you have an hour to yourself and your thoughts, it can get quite interesting. Here are a few of the thoughts that go through my mind while a run.
1. Wow today is a beautiful day. I think I'll go for a run.
2. I ran track in high school, so this shouldn't be too bad.
3. Time to break out these running shoes for the first time in months.
4. Okay let's see what's on Spotify...
5. THIS IS MY JAM.
6. YOU GOT THAT JAMES DEAN DAYDREAM LOOK IN YOUR EYE...
7. Is it socially acceptable to dance while running?
8. Whatever I'm doing it anyways.
9. Nevermind. It requires way too much energy to run AND dance.
10. And I'm pretty sure I look like a flapping penguin when I dance.
11. Ugh why are there so many people out today?
12. Mooooooove I'm trying to run here.
13. I wish I had a horn so that I could get people to move.
14. I need a vuvuzela.
15. Do I run weird?
16. What if people are watching me run? I don't like that.
17. How long has it been? My legs hurt.
18. How has it only been 3 minutes?!
19. I feel like I must have run a mile by now.
20. If only I could run a 3 minute mile...
21. Oh look it's another runner!
22. I wish I could look THAT good while running.
23. *awkwardly smiles*
24. Oh no that was weird.
25. Wow, I'm hungry.
26. I think I perspire more than a normal human being.
27. *sings* It's getting hot in here! So take off all your clothes!
28. Nope, let's not do that.
29. I have to pee.
30. I think I'm getting a blister.
31. I should stop.
32. No! I can't stop.
33. How long have I been running for?
34. Only 1.5 miles?! Ugh.
35. I told myself I would run 6 miles today.
36. But I think I'll just run 3 miles instead.
37. And if I run 3 miles, that's basically like running 1 mile on three different days.
38. So I will have exercised 3 times this week.
39. That's pretty good.
40. And 3 miles is roughly 1/9 of a marathon.
41. That's not too bad. I could totally run a marathon.
42. It would take me 12 hours but I could probably do it.
43. Can we just take a moment to appreciate the first guy to ever run a marathon?
44. He ran 26.2 miles to deliver a message.
45. A MESSAGE. I wish I had that kind of determination.
46. Yessss I've reached a crosswalk I can finally take a break.
47. That break was way too short.
48. Wow I really feel like I'm picking up the pace!
49. Nevermind. I'm just going downhill.
50. This breeze is nice.
51. My hair is flowing in the wind. I must look magical.
52. Aaaand now my hair is sticking to my face.
53. I wonder if I can run faster than that car.
54. ... I cannot run faster than that car.
55. If I run faster, I'll finish my run faster.
56. I should just sprint the last mile.
57. Yeah this is good. I'll just keep up this 6 minute mile pace.
58. My heart feels like it's going to explode and my legs feel like jelly.
59. *wheezes*
60. Need....water...
61. Why do I run? Why does anybody run? This is terrible.
62. At least I can eat an entire pack of Oreos when I get back and not feel guilty.
63. No I should probably eat a carrot or something.
64. A carrot with a lot of ranch.
65. And a pizza on the side.
66. A pizza is basically a salad anyways. The crust is the croutons, the sauce is the tomatoes, you can put ranch on it...
67. I am approaching the yard!
68. I can see Otto's!
69. I can smell the freedom.
70. HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIIIIIIIDE. WHY MUST RUNNING MAKE ME CRYYYY?
71. Finally! I'm done!
72. Wow. That really wasn't so bad.
73. I can totally do that again.
74. I think I'll try again next month.
