    If you wear your running clothes under your work clothes so you can squeeze a few extra minutes in your lunch run. You also bring a sandwich so you don't have to wait on the microwave line.

    just getting into it...

    "What is a rest day... do I have to take one... Is that neccesary?"

    A day you don't run on. You really should have a rest day. It helps your body reboot,re-energize,heal. After rest days I feel like I can run forever!

    You get upset when you realize you can't afford that new pair of running shoes and wait to buy that new out fit to get them.

    You get irritable and itchy if you have 2 days off running, and are shouting at people after 3.

    OMG this is 100% true

    OMG mine too - have a border collie and a border collie mutt, they are too smart, they recognize my running clothes, garmin watch and shoes and start warming up by running in circles in the house before we go out!

    P.S. love this whole thread!!

    Probably TMI: but I am super curious! How? Coffee?

    Please enlighten me. I could use the advice. Nothing worse than getting hit with tummy troubles 3 miles into 15.

    You might be a runner if... when visiting friends and family the first thing they ask is how far did you run today:wink:

    Hahaha this is totally me... Every time we have a get together, the first thing I'm usually asked is how far I ran that day. I love it.

    LOL. My dog does not!

    She is an active breed and can run for miles but she is stubborn and would rather run after squirells and investigate all the park smells than run at the end on the leash. I still make her come with me on my shorter slower runs anyways!

    ...your 9 year old son tells you that running 5 miles a day is not enough..."you should try for at least 6, Mom, geez..." :ohwell:

    You might be a runner if you have a tan line from your cell phone/mp3 player armband.

    YES!! and your socks .. and the 15 different tan lines on your shoulders from your tank tops, singlets, and sports bra straps, and the 4 different tan lines on your thighs from different lengths of running shorts!

    You might be a runner if you're not confused by the question "What's your favorite gu?"

    you get upset about injuries because they keep you from running, not because you have actually damaged your body.

    LOLOLOL yessss! I twisted my ankle about a month ago and I was FURIOUS!

    I'm new to running but YESSSSS, I sprained my ankle but already registered for the next run. My trainer said I was silly - nuh uh!!!:tongue:

    if you've killed two iPod shuffles by drowning them in sweat and finally broke down and paid $140 for a waterproof version

    Ha ! I just did this.

    There's a WATERPROOF version?!?!? :love: :love: Hallelujah!

    http://www.amazon.com/Waterfi-Waterproof-Shuffle-4th-Generation/dp/B00474HQAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343827359&sr=8-1&keywords=waterproof+ipod+shuffle

    I've had mine for 3 weeks or so. It's been great so far.

    I think they need to change the tagline from "best underwater MP3 Player for Swimming" to "best underSWEAT MP3 player for RUNNERS." Drowning in sweat is right ON. :laugh:

    If you sleep in your sports bra, tech shirt, dri-fit socks and tempo shorts so when the alarm goes off at 5am you just have to lace up, slap on your Garmin and hit the pavement.......

    Your friend and family can tell when you haven't had a chance to run that day because you're a total b*****

    lmao!
