    You might be a runner if when you are packing for vacation you take a swim suit and a sun dress out of the suitcase so you can fit your running shoes or an extra pair of shorts and running shirt.

    Everything mentioned in all of these posts. Except the gu energy gel thing. I don't get confused because I know what they are, but I've never tried them because I'm frugal and I don't run far enough to feel as though I need them :p I also don't consider a 5K a "baby" distance. it's the one I enjoy the most because I can easily fit it into my busy life :)
    But absolutely every other thing!

    You might be a runner if you have given up on pedicures because you feel why bother, my feet will be jacked up in a week anyway!

    you might be a runner -- if you have ever painted the spot on your toe where your toenail SHOULD be :bigsmile:

    You might be a runner if this is your idea of the ultimate vacation:

    You might be a RUNNER if......

    * you spend more on marathon registration fees than car insurance every year
    * you own 2 sticks...a chaffing stick and a runners stick
    * you see the sun rise more than the sun set
    * You can laugh at the concept of "Dry-fit" clothing
    * you have a new found appreciation for the fanny pack
    * you think Coconut Water > Gatorade

    You are confused why people think you are crazy to pay money to run in a crowd...
    You thought running a Quarter Marathon was FUN!
    You don't care if your state is hitting record temps in the hundreds - you still NEED to run (in the middle of the afternoon)

    You might be a runner if.... you mention going on vacation and your co-workers immediately ask, "what race will you be running?"

    .... you find yourself referring to a 3 mile run as your "short" run or telling someone you are "JUST running 3 miles today."

    This thread makes me laugh so much, because it is ALL TRUE. Even the Dr Bronners and the Garmin.

    You are desperate to do this

    but no one will do it with you, and just looks at you like you have sprouted a third head when you mention it with excitement.

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

    I'm sorry, but as long as the Leadville 100 is run, the marathon is not, in fact, the grand daddy of races. More like the cool uncle.

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

    "If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run."

    Aww shucks. I may need to print that out and hang it on my wall!
    Good idea.

    Learn it. Know it. Live it. :)

    I love that quote! Someone posted it last week! POST IT!
