Just wondering if any of you have any running rituals that you follow that may seem a little odd to others - I have quite a few, like the order in which I put my " gear " on but the one that stands out to me the most is after a run I always have a cup of coffee - I don't know why I find that so odd but it is the ONLY time I drink coffee.

    If I don't have my recovery drink handy immediately after a run then I am certain my legs would explode.

    That's a good one, since I am big on getting my protein shake as soon as I am done.

    @brhollifield I HAVE to have coffee just before I run. And usually don't eat or drink anything else before my run.

    I like to sit in the car (proctasting?), checking MFP/email/texts, eating candy, drinking a red bull, watching who else is out there...

    I have to have my low fat chocolate milk after my long runs. Just love it and know the protein is good for my muscles.

    certain body processes always seem to happen after long runs for me. Does that count?

    I always have to pee at some point, even if I went before the run.
