    ... You get excited when you lose yet another toenail.

    ... Ibuprofen is your recreational drug of choice.

    ^^^ Agreed ^^^

    You know your a runner when you have a pair of trainers for trail and a separate pair for road running.
    You know your a runner when you have more training shoes than you do heels :laugh:
    You know your a runner when all your training t-shirts are from the various races you have run.
    You know your a runner when you have 4 safety pins always ready in your car to pin your number to your vest!

    You know you're a runner when...the sight of a beautiful woman jogging down the street arouses jealousy instead of lust.

    When you own more sports bras than regular bras, and more running shoes than heels.

    You know you're a runner when...

    you schedule your vacation based on what city is hosting the next Rock 'n Roll Marathon
    shooting your GU means something totally different to you than to a non-runner

    okay, I did not know about fartlek. I thought I might know but google proved me wrong. So it has nothing to do with gas and cadence. :blushing:

    You know you're a runner if you've learned yourself to calculate kilometers to miles and the other way around by mental arithmetic :)

    You apologize to the steers along your regular route for not coming around for a week because the road was torn up.

    Your dog gets excited when the running shoes come out.

    You plan you days and meals around your run.

    If you are not on a regular poop schedule it can REALLY ruin a run.

    You look forward to your regular poops :)

    You are missing at least one toe nail.

    You have several different running mixes on your iPod and when one of the songs comes on the radio you are itching for a run!
