Usually I am writing blogs in my head - and I always think I have come up with my next masterpiece.<br /><br />Then I get done running and I'm blank. I can't remember any of my literary genius. Just today I ran 3 miles. As I sit here now I haven't the faintest idea what went through my mind. All I remember is that New Kids on the Block came on my iPod twice and that made my day!Fruit Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747205899650070873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-87498946679803967662010-07-21T17:23:28.888-07:002010-07-21T17:23:28.888-07:00True story...I think about NOTHING.

Even on short runs, my mind is all over the place, thinking about how my shoes feel, a squirrel that ran by, that TV show I watched last night, the fact that I ate breakfast too late, that my tummy is upset, when will it be over, what movies I want to see... <br /><br />That's why I liked my long runs.

It's so BORING! At least I won't melt outside...How far have I gone? Surely I'm almost halfway. Shit, not even close. Maybe I should cut my mileage down. No, I have to do this to get back in running shape." Then I would focus on the podcast I was listening to only to lapse back into the monologue above. Some days I feel like I can solve the world's problems on a run, but today sure wasn't one of them. At least I wasn't humming Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star for multiple miles like I was last weekend.
