Except that I tend to be precious about my books and I would be scared of getting them sweaty...magazines, maybe..?<br /><br />The thing that really amazes me are those people who talk and run at the same time!?! This is why I can't go running with my husband.saleemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346680913572656707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275632351023557092.post-27662193105157817132013-02-19T01:08:03.314-05:002013-02-19T01:08:03.314-05:00I ran again today for the first time since the end...I ran again today for the first time since the end of January. I'm not much of a runner, being relatively new to it and my distances are rather short, but today was the first time I had a thought about thinking while running. And then my next thought was that I wasn't working hard enough if I was thinking about thinking. <br /><br />Running is the one time I feel like my brain shuts off and I am simply in my body. I need more of it. <br /><br />I do wish I could read while running though. That would be amazing!mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01804113244825043303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275632351023557092.post-6571487661606116412013-02-18T11:33:44.629-05:002013-02-18T11:33:44.629-05:00Reading on the treadmill is the weirdest experienc...Reading on the treadmill is the weirdest experience! I always get this strange, vertiginous sensation that the treadmill has actually slowed down (when it hasn't) and I start fiddling with the pace. I'm impressed you can do it! <br /><br />I know what you mean about getting angry...but a little edge is sometimes almost the only thing that GETS me to the gym. And then I work it out. Zoning out might be the ultimate goal, though...saleemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346680913572656707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275632351023557092.post-70225518468093167662013-02-17T17:02:23.894-05:002013-02-17T17:02:23.894-05:00I prefer *not* to think at the gym--otherwise I te...I prefer *not* to think at the gym--otherwise I tend to dwell on things that make me angry. Not sure why--the forward push, maybe. I try to listen to music and zone out otherwise, plus a magazine when doing cardio (I have even mastered reading on the treadmill, which is challenging) and maybe even television. As many stimuli as possible! It's my one chunk of the day to not think--I love it!Rebecca Rosenblumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10859985178895250412noreply@blogger.com
