Whatever keeps you going, right?

So, as I add time to my running routine, I’ve been running into this mental block while doing my running sets, where I can’t stop thinking “when is this over?!”

My training regiment is alternating sets of walking and running, gradually building up the running time.

I usually listen to some bumping music to help me keep my pace, but I find I get bored and keep looking at my timer to see how much time is left.

My good friend Jenny suggested I download an audio book to keep my mind off how much my lungs burn, my legs ache and I’m sweating, so I decided to give it a try.

So far, so good! Really seems to help. Any of you have any good tricks for keeping your mind occupied while running?

(Don’t judge me on my book choices)
