    Results: 39 out of 50. "Wow. You have a problem. Running completely controls your life. I guess in the grand scheme of things, being addicted to running is a good problem to have, but dang. You’re probably reading this on a treadmill right now, you psychopath."

    I have no idea what they are talking about. I can quit anytime.


    Seriously. Stop snickering. I don't have a problem.

    17 of 50: Congratulations! You have a perfectly healthy relationship to running.

    Considering I'm an ultrarunner who's training for their first 100 miler and I've done more marathons, 50ks, and 50 milers than I can remember this is a win. lol

    I don't even call myself a runner as I don't think I'm there yet.

    :flowerforyou: ... 15/50 for me. To some it'll appear as though running does rule my life ... According to this, not at all; All in the balance :bigsmile:

    Ran past midnight
    Ran twice in one day
    Thought I'd rather be running than doing something boring
    Ran in the blistering cold :heart:
    Ran in the snow :heart:
    Ran in the rain :heart:
    Cancelled plans with friends to go for a run
    Woke up at an ungodly hour to squeeze in a run
    Expenses on footwear/accessories

    ETA: Removed ^ from quote
    My results: You checked off 15 out of 50 on this list!

    Congratulations! You have a perfectly healthy relationship to running. Be thankful the cold stiff fingers of running aren’t clamped around your still-beating heart…for now.[/unquote]

    Didn't take the test. I am not a runner. People who post on my news feed are absolutely obsessed. They are posting all day. I don't think some of them do anything else, seriously.

    Then you SERIOUSLY lied on the test.... lol
    If you even ran one ultra, I know you had to blow past at least 20-25 of these without batting an eye...

    I was aiming for zero but ended up with a 2. I am disappoint.

    Wait, when is the reset? Like, if something hasn't occurred in say, 3-6 years, can I check No?

    Had to laugh at a few of these because I'm gad I'm not the only one who does them...and laughed at a few more because I can't believe anyone does...

    "You checked off 31 out of 50 on this list! Wow. You have a problem. Running completely controls your life. I guess in the grand scheme of things, being addicted to running is a good problem to have, but dang. You’re probably reading this on a treadmill right now, you psychopath."

    --for the record, I'm not on a treadmill. I don't own a treadmill... yet.

    I got 17 of them, so a perfectly healthy relationship to running. :) I'm currently training for a half-marathon (16KM run under my belt today!).

    LOL Really, I didn't. I couldn't even relate to most of the things on that list. Maybe that makes me the most ironic ultra runner ever. ;)

    I only got 21. But I don't skip runs or have to trick myself into completing them because I like running...

    20 Healthy relationship with running…oh and for the fact that people possibly relieve themselves in public during a run? I had not and will not- ever high 5 a runner passing me…just the thought of the latter is just no. no high 5's God knows where your hands had been LOL but seriously:)

    13. There were some that if I'd checked them, I'd also be checking myself into the psych ward. I run cause I like to. In no way does it rule my life.
