If people ask what happens if it rains during a race, you smartly tell them, "You get wet."
WORD! When I was in Seattle the only thing that kept me from running was...... oh, wait.. nope, nothing that I can think of. BEST.PLACE.EVER to live if you're a runner. Now, go hit Greenlake or Seward for me and take a pic!0 -
you constantly have to face a barrage of "why on earth would you ever do that?!?" and "are you insane?" from family and friends....0

"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run."0 -

... you get more giddy and happy about buying too many workout clothes vs. regular clothes...
... you look up maps and routes to run when you're traveling out of town...
... you have a "workout" or "running fuel" section in your MFP food diary...
... your Facebook posts usually have some link to your DailyMile, RunKeeper, or other race related stats...
... you have a Garmin/watch tan from running outside so much...
... you know exactly what a 6:10, 7:30, 8:00, 12:00 pace would translate to in a 5k, half-marathon, full marathon time...
... you see someone running and can tell what pace they're running...
