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

When you use the word "easy" to describe a run of any distance. As in "yesterday I just did an easy 10 mile run". The looks that follow from your non-running friends are priceless.

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

That's perfect.

That's great. And that look is priceless.

When you see other runners, while not running yourself, you get the strange compulsion to cheer them on or weirdly yet yell out, Great race!

...you're disappointed to discover that that there's an employee luncheon next week with free food, because this means you won't be able to do your lunch-time run that day.

You people with your lunch time runs really piss me off

Good...that is why we run at lunch! I barely make it through the afternoon on weekdays when I don't run during lunchtime!

^Very true...and, not to mention, they're called vacation days not rest days!

I shouldn't say this, but I work from home, so I can run WHENEVER I want. It's wonderful. Today, I'm going to wait until DS15 gets home from school, and we're going to drive to a long road nearby that is not quite as icy and snowy so that we can both get our running in. We both need to run 8 miles, though, so he will have to wait at least a half hour for me to finish, lol.

Oh that sounds awesome! I would love to work from home but I think I would end up get side tracked too often. Oh, and I'd eat WAY too much. I get a lunch hour, and there are days when I sneak a little more than an hour. I just find that it's a lot of rushing around to get home, get changed, run and then take a shower and then get back to work. I work just under a mile from my house so at least I have that working for me. I've been trying to push my 16 y/o to run further distances with me but he's stubborn. Just this week my 12 & 13 y/o have decided that they are going to start running a few times a week. A mile or two here or there to start. I'm excited about that. They even asked me to log their runs for them so last night we updated their logs here on RA. I'd like to see them stick with it.
