How to make running more bearable *I can’t listen to my iPod*?

How can i make running/just jogging for a mile or so more bearable? My parents won’t let me use my iPod and i have tried to sneak it out but anyway they won’t let me use it because they know somebody whose kid was running with a walkman like a freaking DECADE ago who got hit by a train. I have already made the point that we don’t even have trains around here.
Also i have to go with my dog to let her get exercise.
BIGGEST ISSUE: I have to run to get my fitness back up for soccer. I play competitively and my parents are making me run to get my stamina/speed back *got severely injured in a game*.
so basically,
SUGGESTIONS PLZ HELP I HATE RUNNING!

Change it up. If you live in a suburban area, do a trail run one day, then some runs near the city the next. Do different kinds of excercises. For example, try a farteleck. This is just fast and slow running mixed together. Run fast (not quite a sprint) between two telephone poles, rest (slow jog) the next one or two. This is relatively entertaining, and also a FANTASTIC way to increase your stamina, speed, endurance, and recovery. Also, try running with a group or club. Running is more fun when you run with people.
