25 Thoughts Everyone Has While Running Outside

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

Running outside is like a never-ending slope. The start is great—but then once you get going, you realize you want to stop and you begin to feel like you’re going to die. However most of the time, when you finally finish, you feel amazing and realize maybe it wasn’t so bad after all. 

Everyone’s thoughts while running outside:  1.     It’s so nice out; I should go for a run.

2.     The best part about this activity is my cute new outfit.

3.     Wait, this sucks.

4.     How has it only been 2 minutes?

5.     I’m dying. I need water!

6.     Why is Carly Rae Jepsen on my playlist? *Skip*

7.     Should I cross the street now?

8.     Is this car going to hit me?

9.     Thanks for not hitting me! *Smiles and waves but is secretly dying on the inside*

10.  God I hope these people aren’t staring at me.

11.  They’re definitely staring, I better run faster.

12.  Oh no, a hill.

13.  Why am I sweating so much?

14.  It’s only been a mile!?!?

15.  Ok what should I eat when I get back?

16.  I’m running 3 miles, so I can eat a lot right?

17.   *Passes a window* Wow is that what I really look like?!

18.  I HATE running. Why am I running?

19.  Wait… only half a mile to go! I am crushing it!

20.  I should sign up for a marathon!

21.  HA just kidding!

22.  Almost back: should I do abs or shower or eat first?

23.  Probably eat first… #priorities

24.  Oh my god, I can see my dorm building. I made it!!

25.  Hey, running isn’t so bad I guess…
