    Do you ever turn on your running play list for motivation at work? I know you do! Cause I do too.

    You actually shock yourself when you hear yourself saying outloud to someone, "I hope I can get a run in today."

    I said to my husband yesterday afternoon "I think I'll go for a quick run"! I would NEVER have said that 3 months ago. When the sun shines (as it is today) I just want to go out running.

    You decide to go for a quick run rather than clothes shopping.

    You thnk one of your toenails might be about to fall off.

    This!!!! Or when my husband says "Are you going to run today?" and I say "YES!!!!! I have too!!!" Not for the workout but for the way it makes me feel!

    OMG, this! I do this, but only if I am trail running. I don't do it on the pavement. I did this the other day while running and got weird looks lol.

    Your lasting impression of someone you meet is what type of running sneakers they were wearing.

    I like your style.

    On more than one occasion I've blown my nose into my shirt while running. Note to self: start carrying tissues.

    ...Especially with the warm weather coming. You would just have to launch one freely out into the world. :laugh:

    That's me today - thinking about my run later today.

    How about this - you go out running even if it's raining. That was me on Sunday. And it's not the first time.

    You actually find the happenings around Boston time interesting. From articles, to those running the marathon, and actually wanting to watch it on Monday.

    When you go to a trail when it is raining, start running and then come upon mud puddles that reach your shins and just say "Screw it," and keep running.

    You spend as much time READING about running as you do reading for fun.

    When you go out for a walk, and decide, "This is boring... I'll just run for a little while!"

    Taking 2 minutes off your finish time becomes the highlight of your day. 33.46 baby! Yeah!

    i have to say i discreetly do it into the bushes because let's face it, I still think spit on the pavement is grosse!

    Passing the walkers in the 5K race brings a smile to your face, and you start to count how many you pass.

    You become bummed because no 5Ks fall on days you are off in May.

    You find out your job might be ending in June, and you desperately NEED to go for a run.

    It's a downpour, but your vertigo has mostly gone away and your cough is more-or-less gone, so you dump your kids on your husband and head out so that you can stay on your training program. Also because you haven't been able to think about anything but running (besides hoping that you'll die) all week.

    You go on vacation and get up early the day you go to an amusement park, knowing you will already walk probably 10 miles that day, just so you can get your run in.
