Agreed. I think running is probably one of the easiest ways to get in that "thought-less" state often associated with formal meditation. Running doesn't put me "with my thoughts" at all...quite the opposite, actually!
Do you systematically reach this state ? Personally I'm having the same "thought-less" state you describe but only when I'm running close to my VO2Max or after a long slow session. But when I run in low speed endurance (70% or less of my heart-rate) thoughts fly through my head.
