    You pick your vacation to suit your running need!

    You forget normal socks when working away but not socks for running (all the time!)

    You might be a runner if the Timex Ironman GPS/HR watch you got from your family for your birthday was the best gift you can ever remember receiving! And, you charged it right away and went for a quick 5k just to test it out!

    When you sprint because you are in a hurry to get some where and don't want to stop running when you arrive :p

    I am just starting running and got up at 5 today to calculate how long it will take for my run so I can still be ready for work and not be late when I return on the 14th!
    So you know you are a runner when you get up before daylight on a day off and you don't mind! :)


    This is me. I have to be at work at 6am..... I set my clock for 2:30am to make sure my feet are on the pavement by 3. It sounds extreme to the "non-runner" until I'm kussin them out because I didn't run and and am wound tighter than a spool of thread...


    I love this thread......

    and everybody who runs!!!:wink::wink: :wink:

    I was going to say yes you are, it doesn't matter if you have just started or been running for years, they said it much better. Keep up the good work:happy:

    You might be a runner if you just realized an evening meeting is going to keep you from getting a run in, so you concoct a lie to leave work early so you can run and shower before the meeting!

    you know a house in at least 2 directions that's exactly one mile away from your house... and you can quote random distances while driving by "oh yea the corner coming up is 5 miles from our house"

    you (and your spouse) have put enough miles on the treadmill to crack the deck, literally....and getting a new treadmill is a top priority.

    You might be a runner if you & your fiancee decide to run a marathon for your honeymoon!

    (It's our first ever marathon, as well!)

    you might be a runner if...

    you determine which house to put an offer on based off of the local running routes.

    You might be a runner if...

    you have intimate knowledge of many of the areas of your city on foot, but you have to use your GPS to drive the same area;

    you have ever been greeted by a sleepy "how far did you go today?" as a first conversation of the morning by your spouse;

    you've ever gone out for "just a short run" and had to stop and grab fuel or electrolytes because your 10k turned into 20k;

    your dog knows your running buddies so well that she runs for her leash even when they're just coming for a social visit;

    and you might be a cold weather runner if...

    you do an automatic 15 degree (celsius) adjustment in your head when you check the weather to determine how many layers you'll actually have to wear;

    you know the benefits of yak trax after an ice storm; and

    your New Years Eve celebrations always begin with a resolution run!

    ... you smirk when non-runners ask you, "So how long is this marathon?"

    HAAHAAA!!! Yes!!! Love it. As if they're all different distances!

    -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

    I actually did think i was the only one who thinks its easier to run up a hill than walk!
