I thought the same but after a while you just enter some kind of trance and time flies by

I love swimming for this reason. I've always been able to get into a weird "zen" state swimming, as far back as when I was a teenager on a swim team.

For some reason, I can't hit the same state with running, I don't know why.

I don't have access to a pool where I live now, so I've recently started running 3 miles a day. I still haven't reached the point where I enjoy it, it feels like work the whole time.

I'm hoping that as I build more endurance and skill this will change, but so far I just really miss swimming.

Do you listen to something while running? I use podcasts instead of music most times.

I probably should, but I'm a bit paranoid about not being able to hear things around me.

Good suggestion though, thanks.
