• You spend all morning glued to a monitor/tv because there is a marathon somewhere and that’s better than anything else.
  • You think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately add up your mileage log if you die.
  • You get upset and want to take back all those times you didn’t want to run because of stooopid reasons.
  • You have no idea how you are supposed to store all these running shoes.
  • You hate walking.
  • You know nothing sucks more than that moment on Mile 1 when you realize you don’t have it.
  • You can’t remember when was the last time you weren’t at least kind of tired.
  • Your bad racing decisions make good stories. For runners only.
  • If it isn’t hurting, you know you haven’t done it right.
  • Even if you never know when it will strike, there comes a moment in your day when you know nothing will be ok until you get that run.
  • You know that if we weren’t all crazy, we’d just go insane

    Right now I’m feeling like my day won’t be OK if I don’t get in a short run tonight! Ha ha.

    I know what you mean about that first mile. I usually hate the first mile of anything.
