-You have made a hotel reservation in August 2012 for the Boston marathon in April 2013 to be sure you have a place to stay. Even though you haven't registered for the race yet!
-When invited out for dinner on a Saturday night, you're not afraid to ask what's on the menu and do you mind if I leave early to get up at 6am for Sunday morning long run.
-When your walking up a steep hill you think, it'd be easier to run up.
-You have your vacations planned for the next 3 years. New York, November 2012, Boston 2013, Colorado (Trans-Rockies) 2014
-You love the smell of new running shoes.
-You have a love/hate thing going with Bart Yasso for coming up with Yasso 800's0 -
Not just a guy thing!... you have to ponder how to best protect your nipples for chafing ... ok, so a guy thing ... but a runner thing too.
Today was not fun ... ow ... used to wonder why so many guys ran shirtless ... thought it was for show ... HA! Now I know ...0 -

It's pretty bad when you finish a run in a fairly crowded place and realize that your nipples have bled through your shirt
Oh snap! I didn't know other people had that problem too! I thought my wife's pregnancy hormones were affecting me or something.
So, really, what are you supposed to do to prevent it?
I've only really had that problem when wearing cotton shirts. If you buy shirts that are really designed for running, ie lightweight, sweat-wicking, tighter-fit, made of synthetic materials, it gets a lot better. Beyond that, though, there are some other threads you could search for here that have a lot more options.0 -
Nope, not just you!
And unfortunately camrunner I've had this now with my running/wicking shirts
... guess I'm just "lucky" ... but as camrunner said, there are other threads on here so I'd go take a peek ... I plan to simply run shirtless if the weather is ok, and look into investing in a "compression top" I think they call it? ... dunno ... to avoid the rubbing ...Oh snap!

And women don't generally have the option of running shirtless. It was quite a shock for me on my first 10K run to come home with bleeding nipples, chafed or bleeding bra band, shoulder straps, armpits, belly button, and panty line. Ouch. I could hardly move and quickly found out about second skin burn dressings. Though some places, I couldn't use them . . .
Men might have a couple of places where they are more prone to chafing than women, but have probably never had to deal with tampon string chafing either.So sorry to hear this!Not just a guy thing!... you have to ponder how to best protect your nipples for chafing ... ok, so a guy thing ... but a runner thing too.

I've never chafed anywhere and certainly never to the point I've bled. Perhaps reevaluate your clothing choices?
Just last Saturday I encountered a group of nude runners, all women. Some of them have been nude running a long time. Also, gravity works.0 -
Believe me, I did! Changes in clothing choices, using a lubricant, etc. I still get some chafing occasionally, but not nearly that bad.And women don't generally have the option of running shirtless.

And isn't there a 200 mile race across Death Valley. That would qualify for some kind of patriarchal status.
The Badwater Ultra is only 135 miles. Not that I have - or will ever - run it.
Yeah, ONLY......0 -
when you run in a forest while its near 100 degrees! why do you say im crazy? :bigsmile:0

. . . if you have nightmares about sleeping through your alarm or other circumstances making you miss your morning run!
(I'm always so relieved to wake up and find out that I haven't missed it!)0 -
You might be a runner if, you have more sports bras then regular bras.
Wait they make regular bras????? :laugh:0 -
...this shot of the beach where you're going on honeymoon looks more barefoot running than bikini

You woke up too late to do your morning run before work yesterday morning (but still early enough to be to work on time) so you called in late to work.0

Beautiful.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."
When you're running outdoors around the block and venture too much into the street while listening to loud music and trying to push it hard, you forget about cars... Oops.0 -
if ...
You are leaving for a 6 day trip/vacation and the first thing you make sure you pack is your running gear ...

all day at work you can't stop thinking about the new running shoes you just bought but haven't tried yet... (til tonight)0

I'm sitting here spam refreshing the UPS tracking page because I absolutely MUST get my new Newtons tonight. If I have to wait until Monday to get them, I'll go nuts.0 -
You might be a runner if...
You go shopping for a new dress and you come home with twice as many running items than everyday clothing. This happened to me on Saturday, I bought new sports bras, running shirts and shorts and even a running skirt. (Not so sure of the running skirt, but we shall see how it works out.) My husband just laughed when I started pulling stuff out of the bag, I'm like, look at this one, it has a pocket for my ipod, and look at this one, it has reflective tape, and look, this sports bra matches these shorts... :laugh:0 -
I LOVE my running skirt! I bought it for a half marathon Super Woman costume and it my fave running item... who am i kidding i love ALL my running stuff! although be prepared, i usually run in booty shorts and a sportsbra but that skirt w/ a tank had me beeped at more than ever lolYou might be a runner if...

Got sucked in again! What makes it worse is that work is slooooooow right now
I suppose you might be a runner if you've committed certain shoes/shorts/shirts to specific running days, but working late/ business trips have thrown off your laundry schedule and running without the norm drives you insane!0 -
- you have different shoes for different distances, weather, and terrain
- you use the word "only" and others find it inappropriate
- you've glared at a kind spirited supporter for using the phrase "almost there" with 5km to go0 -
You might be a runner if this is your idea of the ultimate vacation:

If only you could convince ANYBODY to go with you! :ohwell: :grumble:
(I've had this bookmarked for years!)
OMG, just looked that up -- now I'M going to have that bookmarked for years!!

If you look at your running app online and just by the mileage you can tell the route you took...0

You've worn your favorite running shirt so much that it can actually do a morning run on its own.0

Love it!! Thanks for posting 0

Daylight saving annoys you because it gets light out later and later. I don't like running in the dark.0
