- You coordinate your running outfits based on the type of workout you have a ahead.
- You know you can get chicked or geezered at any time.
- You learn there aren’t any other terms more relative or subjective than slow and fast.

All so true!! I have most of my upcoming weekends accounted for! I have run with a metronome. I won’t even stop for water in a 10k. And yes I have stopped buying running gadgets, even at big expos!
