“Clouds” Cedar Park, 2021
Today I went for a 7-mile run on the hike and bike path near my house. I really like the longer routes, especially towards the end when I am getting tired. I’ve noticed one change that happens to me when I get mentally fatigued on a run, and that’s that I get more emotional when listening to songs. Today, the songs that hit me were “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears, and “Alison” by Elvis Costello.
I can’t really place what specific emotions arise when I heard these… it was just a general feeling of being moved.
Maybe it’s kind of like a type of runner’s high? I don’t know, but I do know that I enjoy it when it happens.
Here’s one of my Spotify playlists that I often listen to while running.
Will definitely give the playlist a listen
