For example; if i start wearing down i use the check-point game, where as i keep going til i get to a place i mark up ahead, and when i reach it i choose another one in the distance.

I definitely use the "check-point" game. I also listen to music, to keep my mind of the jogging. And if I'm feeling lazy, I'll take the longer route instead of doing an easier one twice so I'll be forced to run. (Because I hate walking; I don't like people to see me all sweaty for very long.)

I do the same thing as you do. I just keep giving myself a goal and each time I reach it I extend it even further until I finnish.
I also look down or something when I'm running to see how far I can get without noticing

I usually jog or run to my mp3 player. So when I do start to struggle I make myself run until the song is over, or I'll tell myself I want to hear another song and keep going. I try not to let myself give up until a song is over.

When running up a hill I to the check point thing, but also I think "If I stop running, I'm going to get a slower time, and the girls behind me are going to beat me, I have more will power than them" and keep running.

i do that too. the check mark thing. i just got back from doing a little walking and jogging. if it is hot i imagine that there is a pool around the curve or something like that. but for me the checkpoint thing works best.

Hmm when I'm walking/running or just generally exercising I usually think about what I'll post next in one of my roleplaying games online. or I'll think about someone I think is really hot and just let my mind drift. Best of all is when ya have someone with you to talk with and like debate. God does that eat up time!

I stare at my feet and turn my head completely off. Everyone says thats a bad idea because you'll feel like you're not getting anywhere. But it works great for me. Every time i look up i've made great progress.

I tell myself to keep going even though it hurts, I control my breathing, and at the last block, I run faster.... it works and feels good after. Not to mention my fiance jogs with me and keeps me motivated.

With a partner alternate counting and saying the alpahbet. So you do letters and he or she does numbers until someone messes up. So A1b2c3d4e5 it makes you use the right side of your brain.

I know one girl that counts....steps up to thirty, then sets of step sets...again up to thirty...then begins again.
I do math...how fast the miles are, what pace over the next quarter to save X% before I finish the next mile...stuff like that.
I also think about people...stuff going on in my life....
