The non-runner people often say running is boring. I don't understand this. Part of me thinks they're not interesting people because being alone with your thoughts for a long period of time is pretty fascinating. But it's also a great way to get out and about and see cool stuff. This is particularly true in urban settings. I went on a long run today that took me from 100th Street on the Upper West Side down to Battery Park. There were so many people out and so many things to see and hear. (Another reason not to wear an iPod.) The best was down in Battery Park, where I ran by a couple out for walk. This is the only snippet I picked up from their conversation.

- The internal pigdog is what makes people not want to go on. It's the part of you that says, "It's cold out, I'll skip the run." Or, "Wow, 20 miles is plenty, not sure about another six." It's what makes us want to take the easy way out. This blog is about fighting the pigdog.

I completely agree with you. Running is FAR from boring.
Nice blog, Ana-Maria
you go for a long run, you think a lot and you observe a lot, and then you come back and share ALL OF THAT with your girlfriend.
