"I just run. I run in a void. Or maybe I should put it the other way: I run to acquire a void. But as you might expect, an occasional thought will slip into this void. People's minds can't be a complete blank. Human beings' emotions are not strong or consistent enough to sustain a vacuum. What I mean is, the kinds of thoughts and ideas that invade my emotions as I run remain insubordinate to that void. Lacking content, they are just random thoughts that gather around that central void."

If I'm interpreting this quote correctly, I completely can relate. I run because it's the only time of my day where I don't think about work, or anything else that stresses me out. I can just turn up my Ipod and empty my brain. Liking the void metaphor!
