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.
Or, you could just run from zombies:
