I've been running a lot lately, but it's hard to say who or what I'm running for. Could I be trying to outrun my shitty personality?

I don't know man, I just get the impression that people think I'm stiff and boring. Even when I make a real effort to be outgoing, it seems like I turn people away.
By the way, I made my original post before going on a run. Now that I'm done, I feel a lot better, so maybe I was onto something.

I like running. It's a good feeling moving and focusing on that distracts me from my suicidal depression and the reasons for it.
I can do a 4 minute mile even, but I have no idea how to even begin applying for the olympic team.

Way to go anon, that's incredible if it's true. My pace is very average, but I'm trying to lose weight and push myself to run longer distances. My girlfriend and I went long distance a couple months ago, and I think getting back into running has been one of my ways of coping with that.
You could be using it as a form of meditation.

Maybe so. I've actively tried to do that in the past, even going so far as to use a mantra. I haven't used those sorts of deliberate methods lately but it's kind of had a similar effect.
