Unfortunately we're becoming all to familiar with those on this board.

If you don't know them, I'm impressed. You're lucky. If you don't use them, you have my gratitude. Running is not that complicated. I suspect most people would run more often, better, farther, much happier - and faster - if they didn't hear any of that babble for the first few years of their running life.

Can't say that I know them (could guess at some) but I do just run without all that other stuff - lace up the shoes and go....

DD - Difficult daughter. (At least when my parents refer to me.) PITAD - pain in the ass dog. HTFU - HURRY the fuck up (as another alternative).

How I feel these days... This helps too!
