Nauseous and dizzy is an understatement... Someone mapped out "the cog" on MapMyRun.

But really, it all boils down to personal safety. I run in a lot of high traffic areas and I'm somewhat partial to not getting hit by cars.
That, and I wouldn't want someone sneaking behind me without me knowing.
When (and it's pretty rare) I run on treadmills, I'll listen to some music though... But that's the only time.
But yeah... I've been called a "zen runner" by people in my running club - pertaining to the fact that I never run with headphones and sometimes not even a stopwatch... Just doing it for the sheer enjoyment of running. Although these days I almost always run with a stopwatch, just for personal record-keeping and whatnot.

Psssh. I'll bet it is if you're running up Pikes Peak.
I did my 10M (as in MILES, loser) run today... I don't know whether it was the fact that it's more than 70∘outside or what, but I had a really hard time out there. Like, I seriously just wanted to stop running after 4 1/2 miles.
But fortunately, I didn't stop (I mean, I'd have ended up walking home 5 miles anyway, so stopping wouldn't have made much sense)... And I finished in 1:09:36.
So yeah... I'm taking it easy tomorrow.

When is that Marathon in Dallas? Im thinking I might start running now and give it a shot. Plus it would be like I was on crack with normal air there.

Mmmkay, official results posted - 39:10 (6:18) !!
I placed 69th out of 587 runners (14th in my age group), and shattered my last 10K time by 5:29.
Holy crap. Hills pay off.
P.S. -
I even got a mention in my running club's newsletter today!
"For Team Essex, Joshua Carnes made an impressive debut for the team running a PR of 39:10 to be our second finisher behind Larry Czaplewski who ran his usual strong race to finish in 36:16 and take 2nd in his age. Our men's team turned in an excellent performance overall to finish in 4th place out of the 9 teams but we were again unable to field a women's team. Many thanks to Ed Kelly for filling in as team captain today."
