When you are breathing heavy climbing a flight of stairs, but can run 12 miles. Have no idea why this happens
This happens because people often change their breathing patterns to go up stairs. I didn't believe that until I conciously focused on my breathing and sure enough it made a difference.
Best Present Ever
Along the same lines, you actually look forward to major milestone birthdays because you'll place higher in your age group.
this is so true. I turn 45 this year! sadly, there are still a lot of very fast women who will be in my age group. I also know my friends by their age groups rather than their ages. As in, "X is definitely at least an age group older than Y."

or worse, when when your legs feel it after climbing one flight, and yet you can do miles on end of hills/stairs.

What does Tunis make?
You get the check at a buffet before you've asked for it. I'm sorry, is four trips a lot?
Ha. +1.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

It pisses you off when your vacation interferes with your running
Exactly, I have a week vacation coming and all I am thinking is if walking all over the Magic kingdom counts as any training, or if I can translate 4 hours walking to 30 min running etc.
I look my best blurry!
Sure it does! I logged a mile or so hunting on a mountainside for a Christmas tree! It was definitely a workout. Log it!
Yeah this is a bad one.
I once ran a really miserable 4 miles on the top deck of a cruise ship, 1/2 of every lap I was getting blown forward, the other 1/2 I was barely moving forward.
