But according to anew study, our thoughts are more streamlined and running-related and less “OMG puppy!”
40 percent of all thoughts were related to pace and distance.Think “How much further?”
and “Come on, girl, pick up the pace.”
Oh, it’s a rock."
Unsurprisingly, the researchers reported, these thoughts contained “a considerable amount of swearing.”
28 percent of all their thoughts pertained to the environment.As in “No.
c’mon.”
So, we present a SELF-ier version of “Thoughts We All Have While Running.”
You’ve got this.
It’s a beautiful day.
Time to break a sweat."
“Come on GPS watch, get a satellite.”
“Is it humid today?
It must be humid today.
Because I’m already sweating.
“OMG a puppy!
Look at that puppy!
He’s sooooo cute!”
“Whoa…puppy’s owner is pretty cute, too.”
“Puppy’s owner has a wedding ring.
Keep on running.”
“This running thing is awesome.”
Ow ow ow, why is someone stabbing me in my side?”
“Shorts are riding up.
Forgot to apply Body Glide to inner thighs.
That shower’s gonna hurt later.”
“Yessssss Taylor Swift on shuffle.
Yes I will shake it off.”
“I can’t wait to get home and dig into a big bowl of oatmeal.”
“Or maybe I’ll swing by that crepe place on the way home instead.
A little Nutella never killed nobody.
(Right?)”
I want a bagel."
Running is amazing, everything is awesome.
I am the goddess champion of the world!"
Definitely going to run tomorrow, too.
Maybe even sign up for a race.
