    You would never think of running errands with your RUNNING shoes. You check the weather report to see if
    it is RUNNING weather today. You wonder what you would do if you couldnt run and instantly get hives thinking
    about being sidelined from RUNNING.

    you consider clothes with a high man made fiber content as better than clothes that are mainly natural fiber.

    You wear your Nike+ sportwatch more than your fancy watch.

    You have a tattoo that says 13.1

    GREAT tattoo !!

    You choose running over other sports/exercises that may burn more calories

    Everytime you feel the heel/ankle/knee/calf/etc pain the next day, you think "that was a good run"

    Agree with getting jealous seeing other people run, speeding up next to someone on the treadmill, and running shoes are only for that! Great post OP, even though I don't run races I'm enjoying!

    You might be a runnier if
    when your working it nags and nags I wanna move I wanna run.
    When you feel the wing in your face and feel FREE.
    When you listen to music and always think I can run to that.
    When you think Nike running shoes with n app is the coolest thing ever.
    When you get butterflies on you stomach seeing the olympics track runners race.

    You might be a runner...

    - If you go twice as long and just as fast as the full grown men on treadmills on either side of you.

    -If you see 4 or 5 people jump on and off of treadmills during your run.

    -If you see a buddy in the gym and they come back 45 minutes later while you're on the same treadmill and ask, "Are you still here?"

    -If you have a special workout outfit to wear when it rains.

    -If you put your ipod into a plastic bag so you can still run in the rain with your music. :)

    ***And I was scheduled to do my 1st 1/2 marathon last Sat, but I had to go on a business trip.*****

    Holy CRAP. :noway: That is SOOOOO not right. You are going to nail that puppy when it comes.
    Okay, I'm trying to become a runner...
    ...I'm halfway to doing a 'baby race' as someone calls a 5K
    ...I DEFINITELY have more running shoes than heels
    ...I don't own ANY sports bras, are these required? maybe I could borrow one from my wife :laugh:
    ...I DO have the shoes that are only for running, nothing else

    Hee hee...good one! And don't call anything a "baby race" -- you train for it, you EARN it. :flowerforyou:
    I DO think you should try sports bras. :wink: They are rather comfortable. Although I would imagine going shirtless is also quite a perk when you're a boy. :laugh:

    The first thing you do when you are sent away on business is check out the local area on MapMyRun for decent 5 milers.

    you regularly forget your credit card PIN and wedding anniversary but you remember your finishing time of your last race down to the seconds.

    Hahha- you might be a runner IF, you set the trip thingy on your car when you're driving down what you think a good running route would be to see how many miles you could get outta it!

    I do this ALLLLLL the time.:drinker: I even have to drive a route AGAIN b/c when I'm on it the first time, I'm distracted by the kids and forget to set the trip!!

    ...you know the backroads by how wide the shoulders are, where the potholes need to be filled, and where the cows cross (patties ahead).

    You might be runner if: Even if you haven't been able run for months due to injuries you still go through this thread to see which apply to you.


    ---
    So what I'm not actually running this year. I AM a runner.

    YES you are still a runner!!! i was injured for 2 months.. it was horrible :-( I'd run in sleet and snow and 100+ w/ humidity now that i've experienced no running!

    "You might be a runner if the only time you see a doctor is when whatever is ailing you starts to interfere with your running... you'll run rain, heat, snow, through a cold... the moment that you can't run... Hey Doc..."

    this is best thread EVER!!!

    Construction and road work bug the crap out of you...not because you are going to get stuck in traffic, but because you have to plan a different running route.
