I must have been the worst runner in the world.
I typically ran in my everyday cotton socks and basketball shorts. Never had more than 1 pair of running shoes at a time that I only used for running and everyday was 'run day' so I just called the days of the week by their names.5 -

You know you're a runner when even if you're having a day where you don't feel good looking, you can always stare down at your calves.5

Your days are divided by lifting and running. and on your lifting day you still feel the need to get in at least a small (3 mile) run in.3

You watch the clock at work, counting down the hours/minutes, thinking, "________number of minutes until I can go run."2
