You know you're a runner when:
- You have more running shoes than regular shoes.
- You start getting picky about casual shoes and actually start buying shoes for comfort.
- A pedicure is no longer about having pretty toe nails but to get off the callous.
- Your laundry consists of running clothes only.
- Everything you eat is carefully decided, whether for the nutrient content or how it's going to make you feel for the next run.
- Carbs are your best friend.
- You are eternally hungry.
- You spend more money on races than vacations. You also pick races on their location so you can make it a vacation.
- Going to bed early is a must.
- You wake up before the sun on your weekend to do your "long run."
- Laundry mainly consists of running clothes, and you never allow anyone else to do them for you (no dryer!)
- Wearing real people clothes happens quite infrequently.
- Your Garmin (or other watch) is your best friend.
- All you want to do is talk about running.
- You stretch wherever, and whenever you can. Your roller also travels with you.
- You have worn compression socks under pants in public.
- You cannot run a race until you poop. (TMI, but it's incredibly true.)
- Water is your bff.
- You get angry when you can't run, or when you haven't run in a few days.
- Running partially injured is always an option. Not running is worse.
- You can't function through a day without running.
- You are always planning and thinking about your next run.
- You keep a spare running outfit in your car (just in case.)
- You may be broke because races are just too fun.
- You just love running and can't get enough!!
A short list, but I hit all the statements that really pertain to me!
Also, sorry friends. I am an obsessive runner, I love it. And I will probably try to convince you to start running!
Peace, and running :)
