How do I entertain myself when running?

Question

I have no ipod and my cd player always skips. How can I entertain myself?

Answer 1

Try to find a nice neighborhood with a great view and look at the houses and the way the decorated their front lawns, i also made sure i ran through streets that had plenty of shade, because nothing is worse than running down a hot street with no entertainment. (this sounds corny but) playback some of your favorite songs in your head. Check out your running shadow and critique your form, and your pace. Use a stop watch and every other minute pick up the pace and then slow it back down to normal jogging speed giving your self some sort of GOAL is the best way to conquer running boredom.

Suggestions:

Just let your mind wander

Get a running buddy and talk about whatever

Pray

count something, different object or things each time, for example, count how many houses you pass that have red doors.

Notice the smells, During early morning runs I have discovered who the coffee drinkers are in the neighborhood and who does laundry early in the a.m. just by paying attention to odors.

Answer 8
