    When you're excited to run after a good rain b/c you're less likely to get run over by a mountain biker.

    You twist your ankle twice and almost trip twice but keep going. By the time you finish the race the pain from twisting your ankle is completely gone!

    You run through foot-thick fallen leaves hiding rocks and branches and fall down three times on an 8 mile run...(yesterday, for me).

    When coming back with mud splattered up and down your legs is a marker of how good your run was. :)

    When you finish a run covered in spider webs because you were the first person on the trail that day.
