[The Flash] - It must be mind-numbingly boring to be the Flash, don't you think?

So Barry Allen (or whoever has the mantle) can run very very very fast.

In order to avoid going splat very quickly, when he is running very very very fast, his brain must be also going very very very fast in order to ensure he doesn't go headlong through a wall, or car, or innocent bystander.

In many portrayals of the Flash, when he's running at full speed, we see that everything seems super slow, but that his awareness and experience are - relative to him - normal speed. This is why he'll look like he's moving normally, while all around him thiiiiings aaaare goooooing suuuuuper slooooowly....

So if Flash is running from, for instance, New York to LA to get somewhere, to us mere mortals he might be there in, ahaha, a flash, but in his experience of the run, is this like a normal person having to run that distance?

How does he not lose his mind from boredom? Or forget what he was doing in the first place?

It's often depicted as longer journeys like that tend to be almost on autopilot - they'll avoid most dangers and pitfalls, but they're not out there focusing on every single step they take. But yes, occasionally they've described clean-up detail as being boring even at high speeds specifically because the need to focus on all the little things.
