You Know You're Runner If.....

With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy.....

You know you're a runner if.....

a weekend conversation with friends includes the phrase, "I just ran 15 miles today."
you think a great birthday gift to get is socks or Gu.
you are planning a vacation around a marathon.
you use the term Fartlek, and non-runners think you are talking about passing gas.
you put a date on your shoes so you know when you first used them.
you have more medals than Michael Phelps.
you hum the Chariots of Fire theme song during a run.
you own Body Glide or Nipguards.
family and friends ask you to skip running a marathon this year.
dinner reservations are pushed back because you want to get 5 miles in.
put your running gear in the carry on, so the airline won't lose them.
you have a slavish devotion to your shoes.
you cry when you hear they made some "changes" to your shoes.
you go online and corner the market on the old version of your shoes, because you heard they made "changes" to your shoes.
you know Five Fingers is not a sex toy.

Please feel free to add more.

You do an extra lap around the block so you don't have to write 11.9 miles in your log.

You have thrown away at least one race bib.

You keep a bottle of safety pins in your gym bag.

You wake up in the middle of the night, disappointed that it isn't time to run yet.

You have seriously considered spending more than $100 on a pair of sunglasses.
