elle aime courir
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 found this same problem in Italy. Walked all day yet didn't consider it as a workout.

"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher
"Running long and hard is an ideal antidepressant, since it's hard to run and feel sorry for yourself at the same time. Also, there are those hours of clearheadedness that follow a long run." -Monte Davis

Sorry if someone already said this.

Students at the High School wonder why you are not the XC or distance track Coach. Know your PR's (PB's) for all distances ran not only for races.
You ARE the track coach.
And you judge kids when you see them in the hall: sprinter, middle distance, boy, he could really chunk the shot. Look at the legs on her...she could long jump! Straight "A" student...maybe smart enough to learn how to triple jump.

You have a special collection of cotton "running hankies" that are for sweat in the warm months and snot when it's cold.
Yay, I'm not unique in this regard!
Half marathons are more fun and 10% as much pain. (Spaniel)
Your car sports a "who fartlek'd" sticker.
You see one on someone else's car, and you get it.
You (like my brother) wear your running shoes everywhere, even to weddings and funerals, etc.
You never know when you might need 'em. How come the shoe companies don't come out with a profitable new line of formal running shoes?
You have to tell the nurse you're a runner before he or she takes your pulse. - You are calm and everybody else seems fidgety.
Or the nurse takes your pulse and says, "You're a runner, aren't you?"

"I've been following Eddy's improvement over the last two years on this site, and it's been pretty dang solid. Sure the weekly mileage has been up and down, but over the long haul he's getting out the door and has turned himself into quite a runner. He's only now just figuring out his potential. Consistency in running is measured in years, not weeks. And over the last couple of years, Eddy's made great strides" Jeff 14 Jan 2009

+1 (isn't this my normal state?)
...and no, no one has said this.
I look my best blurry!
When you realize it is impossible to "jog" at a race you weren't supposed to "run" in because you're almost off the "injured reserve list" and you PR instead.
This is hilarious
