    You might be a runner if...

    ~ you want to quit after the first minute...but know that by the time you get to mile 1, you will settle in and that you're good for at least another 5...

    ^^ This is SO me.
    ~ you pee three times within 10 minutes before you start running (especially for us girls who have had kids)

    ^ my BF is as bad, if not worse, than I am!

    You think IMapMyRun is the best phone app ever created and would have paid twice the amount you paid for your phone just for that ap.

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

    Best so far! :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.......

    Slept in clothes last night b/c I went to bed late due to watching the Olympics. I got up at 4:50 and was out the door at 5am:bigsmile:

    Your spouse has to build your running time into every vacation itinerary and plan all trips around events. Friends and family ask "What are you training for now?" before they inquire on the health of your kids.

    You might be a runner if you plan a race to do while on vacation! :drinker:

    This is so true! My husband and I went to Kauai and were trying to decide exactly what week to stay there and I made the final call based on finding a race. I really wanted a race shirt from Hawaii!

    Yeah, you're not the only one!

    You might be a runner if your planning the running route on your holiday before you've finalised the holiday using goggle maps or earth.

    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.

    Are you asking about how to "go" before a run?? If so, what I do before a race or long run, I get up at least 2 hours ahead of time. I drink 8 oz of warm water with half a lemon squeezed into it. I then start on my coffee. Most times I never make it through the coffee before I gotta go! Whether this matters or not, I have this routinely every day but I think it is the lemon water that actually gets things going...

    Your 2 weeks "vacation time" is all used for traveling to different races/mud runs

    ....you might be a Runner IF

    ....when training on a treadmill, you always have to be at least 1MPH faster than the person to your left and/or to your right..

    THIS. I don't care how fast they are going, or even if I don't even RUN that fast. Even if it's only for three ninutes, I NEED to be faster than the person on the other treadmill!!! :laugh:

    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

    ROFL Love this:)

    You plan your first ever trip to Europe not to go sight seeing, but to participate in a Tough Mudder......


    (England, 2013......and yes, I'll be getting the tattoo after I cross the finish line)

    You are acutely aware of things like nipple chafing. And you're a guy.

    You talk about nipple chafing to people. And they understand.

    You get excited when new gu flavors are released. (peanut butter. Yum)

    You have no idea how many miles you have on your car, but you know how many you've run in each pair of shoes.

    You have very strong opinions on socks.

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


    :embarassed: (all the time)

    I think I actually pouted when I saw people running while I had my stress fracture. :frown:

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

    That's a good one...because I have no idea!
