People who don't run as much as I do or hardly run at all ask what do I think about when I'm out there on a 13 mile run. To be honest I simply tell them nothing too important if anything at all. Running is my time to unwind and let my mind take a break from reality and all of life's responsibilities or obligations for an hour or so. I know when I get back I will still have these responsibilities and obligations to attend to since they aren't going anywhere.
Running should free your mind, simple as that. Take a look around you, enjoy the scenery, smile, relax, and just let everything go for a bit. That's how I survive each and everyday, if I don't go out for a run one day I become too stress out and get overwhelmed. Running is my therapy and stress reliever, and I know this is the case for many people as well.
Just look at this of picture below, I'm having a blast! How couldn't I, I'm doing what I love most, RUNNING!!!
