[quote=Anonymous]I've come to love the mental silence I can get from running, and the transition back to everything else when I finish. It's interesting to me to see what thoughts creep back first. A few things that I do to calm/quiet/focus ... Count things (grey cars, dayglo running hats ... first thing that grabs my attention on the run). Speed play -- I tend to do this on the portion of the Mt Vernon trail north/south of the airport. Change pace up/down with each passing plane. 99 bottles of beer on the wall -- how far can I get without breaking attention? Back to the beginning when I do. Many people do earbuds with music / audiobooks / podcasts and do it safely, both for themselves and others. It's worth revisiting every now and again to make sure that you really are aware of your surroundings, but it's hardly a death trap or safety disaster. [/quote]
