I am bored very easily and running sometimes gets boring. Okay, let's face it. I'm only actually running for 23 minutes this week, but at my level of elite fitness (translation: I run very slowly) I still need stimulation. However, for those in need of distraction and have grown tired of all their music downloads, I suggest finding some podcasts to get interested in.
Podcasts are the best thing since sliced bread. Constantly changing topics keep things interesting and fresh, and although they don't possess the upbeat rhythms of, say, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch to get you going, they keep your mind off of the actual running process more than music does.
Just to torture myself further, I've decided to listen to food and wine related podcasts while running. During this past initiation week, I downloaded two notable podcasts that were great: The Restaurant Guys and On The Menu with Ann Haigh. Things I've learned that I didn't know before: Texans actually make good wine and culinary schools are a waste of time for emerging chefs. Next week's pick: A guy, a girl and a bottle of wine.

As Bruce Springsteen sang, some people are Born To Run.....others are not. Here is the story of an ordinary shoe-aholic in an unordinary pair of shoes: running shoes.

I think that's the reason you have so much pain with running. You're not making it fun! By listening to podcasts about food and wine while running, will making running that much harder on you. Consider listening to podcasts with Tony Robins, or running podcasts. Something uplifting and energetic, rather than something that reminds you what else you could be doing at this time.
