    When running, I find that doing what Oak suggested and being really observant helps pass the time. Sometimes I'm analyzing what others are wearing (if there are others to look at), other times, I like to look at houses and gardens and admire things and get ideas for our own place. I purposefully don't run with music because I like to be able to hear things and notice them (since on a bike, there is too much wind to hear the soft stuff), like birds or whatever. I also enjoy noticing and trying to identify smells (I do this on the bike, too).

    I also sometimes use the time to work over a problem in my head (again, it helps to not have music playing). This was more common when I used to run after work - it helped me put the day in order and behind me, actually.

    OK- so that's pretty funny and quite unique.
    I just don't know if I could listen to that the whole time I'm running. Can you imagine a 10 mile run with that in your ear. ahhhhhhh

    My sister does the Zombies Run thing. She's been doing it pretty much ever since it came out, so it must be engaging.
