    You see someone running while you are riding in your car and wish it was you.


    :embarassed: (all the time)

    This is so me!!!! Even if I ran that day...especially if it's a rest day!

    You might be a runner if you use your birthday to get running essentials. (this year I asked for a hydration belt since i don't have one, new shoes or a race entry fee) lol

    Sorry to bust into a so far lady only topic....

    But you might be a runner if you are out in 100+ heat and still going.

    You might be a runner if....you beg the front desk guy to open the fitness room at 11:30 at night to let you get your 5 miles in.

    *In Missouri right now. I live close to the beach in Cali, and it never gets past 80 even on the hottest days in summer*

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

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

    ... you have more running shoes than heels.
    ... you spend more on training clothes than work clothes
    ... you find yourself saying, "THAT'S not a hill..."
    ... you have huge veins in your feet like Matt_Wild has in his arms!
    ... you plan your social life around your race schedule, not the other way around
    ... Ibuprofen is your drug of choice.
    I love this one......
    ... you smirk when non-runners ask you, "So how long is this marathon?"
    ... you ever came to the end of a trail and had to ask a very confused person what town you were in
    ... you know that the best cure for constipation is mile 3 of 15. (SO TRUE!)

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

    If you add up your mileage and are a little disappointed that you only put in 54.5 miles running even though you spent 2 weeks away from home...which is what I did just a few minutes ago!

    If people ask what happens if it rains during a race, you smartly tell them, "You get wet."
    ok i like that one. maybe it's because of where i live.

    You have underwear designated for running so you don't accidentally run out of them.

    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!

    I laughed out loud at that one !!!! So gooood(;

    -You might be a runner if a 5K is a baby race(;

    -You might be a runner If you go running in a nature park and get lost and end up running three extra miles! Haha (personal experience)

    I was going to add something to this, but based off most of these posts, I've concluded I'm not a true runner

    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!
