Back: I'm ahead of you!
I know............... lame |
To paraphrase an old poster: Today is the first day of the rest of your training. It doesn’t matter where you started or how far you’ve come. Today is the day.
Your training didn’t start 6 weeks ago. Your training started the last time you hit the road.

You might be a runner if:
10. Your day isn't complete until you've put your run in.
9. You consider bagels a main food group.
8. Your iPod has a "running" playlist
7. You consider a "box of gu" to be a thoughtful and useful gift.
6. You schedule your meals around your runs.
5. You check out road races while on vacation.
4. You call all other sports cross-training.
2. You know it's okay to fartlek in public.
1. You are a member of RunningAHEAD.com!

Pick your favorite 10 I really like the idea of a "you know you're a runner when.." and ending it with something about RA!
Travel
You Know You're A Runner...
when the drive to the race is longer than the race itself
when you keep your family updated on how far you are from your destination by saying "There's only a half-marathon (10k, 5k, etc) until Grandma's house," and everyone knows how far that is.
when you run to your gate at the airport even though you aren't late and you aren't wearing running shoes
when you pack a seperate bag for your running clothes
when your idea of sightseeing involves visiting the local running store and finding the best place for hill repeats and long runs
when you get off an 18 hour flight and go for your long run because a) you need to stretch your legs, b) you want to see the city/country, and c) you have a scheduled run
when you realize that all the traveling you did in the last year revolved around races
when, on trips, you find it entertaining to see how fast you can convert speeds and distances from miles to kilometers and vice versa
you avoid travelling to places where you won't be able to run
when you get back from vacation and the first thing you tell people about is how the running was
when you fly with your running clothes and shoes in your carry-on bag
Nutrition
You Know You're A Runner...
when all your friends think you eat too healthy
when you not only eat gels, but you know the best flavors for every brand
when you consider pasta to be a food group
when the sports drinks are in front of the soda, beer, and juice in your fridge
when you know the name of all the checkers at your local health food store
when you have two eggs, two pieces of toast, a slice of cheese, a glass of juice, and a yogurt for breakfast and are still hungry by 11 AM
when you drink your least favorite kind of sports drink because you know it is what they will be handing out at waterstops for your next race and you want your body to be accustomed to it
when pasta is the only food you'll eat two nights before a race
Family and Friends
when you've run, showered, and eaten breakfast (twice) before your family/roommates even wake up
your family knows that you will run on Thanksgiving and Christmas (or other holidays you celebrate) now matter what
your friends no longer look at you like your nuts, because they know it for sure
when you forget birthdays and anniversaries, even major holidays, but never the date of your next race
when you have to make a real effort to remember to talk to your (non-running)family and friends about something other than running
you register for a race during your honeymoon even though your new spouse is not a runner (and he's not surprised or angry)
when your boss tells you to go run because your having a bad day at work
when your family plans vacations based on where your next marathon will be
when your non-running family and friends know the differences between feet that are neutral, over-pronating, and supinating
when you run so much that your family has a seperate laundry basket for your running clothes
when your family or friends sign up for "bike duty", to bike beside you during long runs so you don't have to carry anything you wouldn't carry during a race
when people stop asking you if you are going to run today, but rather ask you when
when your friends by sports drinks for their party so you'll have something to drink, since they know you have a run/race the next day
when you tell your realtor that you want a house in an area with good schools and a nice area to run
when you tell people you ran a 10k and you are shocked that people think that is a long run
your spouse and kids (and maybe even friends) know your PRs at different distances
when you call 4 miles an easy day
when your friends know that if you don't answer your phone, you're probably running
when you try to convince people to run a 5k because it's "only" 3 miles
when you pass on going out with your friends on Friday night because you have to get up early and run
when you no longer have to explain to your friends why cotton isn't the best choice for running attire
when an exciting date for you is going with your spouse to drive your 20 mile route for the next morning and plant sports drinks along the way
when you come back after a 1 hour run and your spouse says 'That was fast.
I didn't expect you back so soon.'
when your friends think they need to practice more before they can run with you
when you smirk at people who tell you that you run too much or are crazy for enjoying a run
when your spouse begs you to go for a run because you are in a bad mood
Injuries
You know you're a runner...
when you know how to pronounce (correctly) Plantar Fasciitis
when you have a favorite ice pack
when you laugh about chaffing
when your massage therapist knows your race schedule
when you brag about losing toenails
your room smells like a nursing home because of all the analgesic you use
when a pot is started to bet on when your next toenail will fall off
when you run even though you are sick
when you put more time and work into taping parts of your body than to your tax return
when you go through a box of Band-Aids without getting a single cut
when there are permanent blood stains on your T-shirts where your nipples were rubbed raw
when it hurts worse to take a shower than it does to keep running
when you find yourself standing in front of the mirror trying to see if you have a leg length discrepancy
when you know the names and remedies for every possible injury from bursitis to shin splints
when you could teach a class about biomechanics and the different kinds of shoes people need
when you are the only person in town who knows what Quinine is used for besides treating malaria
when your physical therapist or massage therapist is on speed dial
when your rolling pin is kept near your bed instead of in the kitchen
Clothes
You know you're a runner...
when you refuse to wash your running shoes because you like to wear the dirt as a badge of honor
when every T-shirt you own has a race name and sponsors listed on it
when your socks come in two categories: running socks and others
when you go for having a drawer for your running clothes to having an entire bureau for running clothes
when you have tons of race shirts but can't find a work shirt for the life of you
when you balk at the cost of everyday shoes and then spend $75 - $100 on a pair of running shoes that will only last 3 months and think you're getting a fabulous deal
when you refuse to buy running shorts that are longer with a seam longer than 2 inches
when you think a black Timex Ironman watch goes with black tie dress
when you are constantly washing running clothes but have to go through piles of clothes on the floor to find work clothes each morning
you can shop at REI and your local running store for hours, but can't stand 5 minutes anywhere else
when you spend $12 on socks that help you avoid blisters
when you have more shoes than your girlfriend or girl friends (as the case may be)
when you have to explain to everyone why you can't run in the T-shirts you get at races
