You know you've caught the running bug when... (Read 2175 times)

...you plan your vacations as race destinations. ..your running wardrobe is more extensive than your dressy wardrobe ...and as I posted in LLR....you wear godawful fugly Crocs in public because they make your achilles feel better

I can say the same for all of these! If I plan a run out of state it gives us an excuse to go on vacation otherwise we'd never take them!!!! My running wardrobe literally takes up half of my closet Better yet............you wear Crocs at work because they don't kill your feet so they feel better for that 10 miler you have planned for your day off. And one to add to the list You know you've caught the running bug when................. your husband buys a camera and photographs the group you coach because he knows that is the only way he will see you on the weekends.

When the actual part of running is less than half the time spent on running. How about all the time spent on running related items. Stretch after running Shower after running Wash running clothes Log your running stats Read about running Buy running paraphernalia Time spent Just thinking about the next race or workout.

Truer words were never written.

When you choose to run on a treadmill in a health gym right next door to the beautiful ski resort of Sugarbush (Vermont) while your entire family is skiing there! (while watching on TV The Today Show's broadcast from the base of the hill, too, lol)

When you can justify $90.00 for a pair of running shoes.

Yeah, the first time I did that I KNEW I was hooked.

Heck, sometimes $90 is a bargain, even. You know you're hooked when you think nothing of spending $90 on a pair of shoes that you may only get 3-4 months out of...several times/year.

Well it's Hook, Line and Sinker. $200 for Nimbus 9's or Kayano's, Kinsei's go for $229. Add 14% in taxes, so it's $228 and $264. I guess you could shop around and buy when they go on Sale for up to 20% off so $180 and $220. Now that is Canadian dollars...........oh Wait

I just went to Palm Springs for a week, and only socks I brought were smartwool!

You go out to run an easy 4 miles and end up running 8! Woops!

To continue the footwear theme.... When you completely give up high heels (that applies to you too, boys ) so as your little bunion doesn't get any bigger and risk making you stop running . Hooray for ugly shoes!
