I have to admit, that thought has crossed my mind before…then again, I basically wonder what any animal that runs in front of me might taste like.

“what hamsters taste like” is definitely not one of the things I’ve ever thought about on a run!

Since running is one of the rare opportunities to be alone with my thoughts, they tend to accumulate during the day and spill out during a run so that I think of the most bizarre and random things ranging from asparagus (do i really like it or not?) to newcastle uniteds injury list to wondering what hamsters taste like.

Unfortunately, too many of my runs are consumed by this thought: Where’s the nearest restroom?!

I think about nothing good. I think about when can I quit, how much longer, are my knees falling apart? I wonder what that sensation is in my hips. Is my heart beating too fast? Is this heart rate monitor working correctly?

This is why I wear an iPod. I have to drown out the barking.

I think about way too much and sometimes I think about nothing at all. I get totally lost in my run. Then sometimes I’m running along and something will remind me of another blogger I’ve read or a friend.

Running is MY time out but I usually plan something in my head. Other thoughts consist of when I might encounter the next snake or where the dog disappeared to.

All of the above. When the going gets tough sometimes it’s just “to that next corner”. When the footing is not challenging, sometimes I remember song lyrics I’ve enjoyed recently. On looooooong runs I start counting things or certain kinds of cars or people. I’ve been known to count pop bottles in the ditch on country runs. Pace math is a good distraction, when I have an idea of how far I’ve come in the time I’ve run. Many times I think about how I’m going to explain it to the blog if I don’t work hard enough.
