Bored while running
Sometimes I get bored while running. I will stop because of it and not effort or exaustion.

Suggestions?

Running
How far do you run? I run about 1 1/2 miles and I change courses.
Some flat and the other is in different terrain like sand, hills, etc. I hope that helps.

Do you listen to music? I use a special 170-180 BPM playlist when I am running for speed and listen to the radio (music or talk) on easier training runs. I have to keep my mind occupied or I find it boring as well!

Find something to distract
My friend uses the I pod
I use an old fashioned walkman and listen to sports radio

Having lots to be thankful for and being Catholic I find it comforting to say my rosary while walking or bike riding.... I don't actually have the rosary with me but use my fingers to count the prayers that we use.... Before I know it 15 minutes have passed and then I start listening to talk radio for the rest of the walk/ride!!! Good luck

Thanks for all the suggestions
All great suggestions.

Because of the heat/humidity, I switched back to the treadmill and am having some problems staying focused. Running outside usually isn't a problem.

I did get a suggestion from a friend who uses her droid and listens to books on tapes or pandora.

I also like talk radio (sports) so maybe i can find an app for satalite radio.

I have a deeper connection with sand as a Fremont Concrete Driveway contractor. That is the running I prefer running on shores rather than parks.
