- you no longer make fun of fanny packs because your running belt looks (although cooler) to one, although cooler
- you have a line in your budget for “race entry fees/race travel”
- you’ve used an old race cotton T-shirt to wash your car, dust furniture, or clean something
- you get an invitation to a wedding and you automatically think about what race the date will conflict with
- Your laundry is always out of control
- You miss not losing toenails anymore after a few years
- You’re hungry constantly.
- You look at the weather forecast to decide if you should wake up earlier to run if there’s bad weather later
- You know where every toilet in the city is, whether it’s in the park or a Starbucks
- You love spandex
- You have at least once had a nightmare of showing up to a race with no shorts on
- You know what an illiotibial band is
- Your window-shopping-fun is done at the sports stores
- You’re still hungry = You’re rungry
