I was thinking today about an idea—something like field notes... for running. I’m wondering if the miles would go by easier if I was talking to myself, observing the world and commenting on it, seeing what it reminds me of and telling those stories. I have some wireless mics that I could clip to my running cap. I could even fix a small camera to my chest or head. Maybe I’d share those? Maybe I’d just use them to write things down. Not sure.

Something that has felt true to me over the past year or so: if you can combine the things that you already do with the things that you want to do, you might just be more likely to start and/or sustain both. I’ve been wanting to publish audio stories forever. I’ve been wanting to write non-fiction-but-not-work forever. I’ve been wanting to engage with the world more, and really commit to running, and... you get it. Maybe something?
