* You make a nice dinner for your husband and can't wait for him to get back from work...so he can feed himself and the kids while you go out for a run *You're being looking forward to going out so much that you forget you had Softball training...and only remember when you see your team on the field, as you run pass Shocked

* You see runners everywhere, even place where you would have never noticed them before * Your shoe "affinity" has expanded to include running beauties * The first time you see a female runner over 65 is a memorable experience * Your running shoes sit on the bottom shelf of the book case, never on the floor ......

• You scoff at 5ks and start thinking the marathon isn't so crazy a goal • You know what HTFU means and it's a personal mantra • You have more race t-shirts than you know what to do with • You think nothing of getting up hours before the sun to get to the starting line • You can say fartlek without laughing (much)

Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to

remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

When you call it "softball training". It's really "practice".

...the school calls to say your DD has fallen off her bike and needs clean clothes, so you decide to strap the little guy into the stroller and use clean clothes for the girlie as an excuse to run on your off day. ...all the doorknobs are taken up by running clothes that are drying out. Big grin

...ALL travel plans involve some sort of race, from 5K to marathon.

after having a cardiac catheritization, you're happy about the good results but more upset you can't run for a week.

You're finally skinny enough to fit into sexy stuff from Victoria's Secret, but you get more excited when Champion has their semi-annual sale on running bras. Eliz
