You know you're a runner when...

Does this sound like you?  If so, you're in GOOD COMPANY!!

You know you're a runner when...
  • your first thought when you look at the weekly weather forecast is, "When can I fit in my runs?"
  • you have more running clothes than regular clothes in your laundry pile.
  • you've lost a toenail. And you tell people, "It's not that bad."
  • you smirk when non-runners ask you, "So how long is this marathon?"
  • you have a drawer full of medals and other race souvenirs that you're not sure what to do with.
  • you go into Starbucks more often to use the bathroom than to actually buy coffee.
  • you no longer make fun of fanny packs because your running belt looks very similar (although cooler) to one.
  • you've used an old race T-shirt to wash your car, dust furniture, or clean something else.
  • your treadmill has more miles on it than your car.
  • you get an invitation to a wedding and you automatically think about what race the date will conflict with.
  • you have dreams about showing up to a race late or not wearing any clothes.
  • you're not embarrassed to wear spandex.
  • the salespeople at your local running store know you by name.
  • you're always hungry.
  • you know how to take a cup of water from a water stop without choking on it or spilling it all over yourself.
  • at least one of your web site usernames or email addresses has the word "run" or "runner" in it.
  • you know where your illiotibial band is located.
  • you no longer hate port-a-johns. In fact, there have been times when you've been very happy to see one.

  1. Haha, great list!! I think other than the Starbucks and email address, I fit everything on the list. I'm also really glad to know I'm not the only person who immediately thinks of race dates when I receive a wedding invitation. :)
