Progressing furthur

I found 50 mile+ distances solo out in the country messed with my head a bit because your brain goes into autopilot/standby mode without any stimuli and with you burning lots of calories it would otherwise have access to. Tranced out.

This is a good thing?
Sorry to refer to runnning again but its my nearest comparison...
i find when i run i zone out focus a head pay attention to the slightest changes in surface and attempt to land right on the paving. Looking straight ahead at all times and seeing the world go by in my periphery vision... and also have a tune in my head. ha like toms dinner..weirdo!
