I noticed something that I am now conscious of, and I stop myself when it's happening. You get in a conversation and inevitably talk gets to running, but then you get the glazed eyes and static expressions that say " Oh no he's off again"
It's not inevitable! I have many, many conversations which don't involve running. You just have to be disciplined!
As others have said, I've learned a lot about my local area, the roads and the nature reserve, and seen wildlife I wouldn't have otherwise: adders, weasels, badgers (not just dead ones at the side of the road).
Also been to new places for races - Amsterdam, Nice, Le Touquet, many other places in France
