Alright everyone, I had to do it: a list of habits, rituals, body abnormalities and sayings that make us runners who we are.
The list is compiled by members of the Facebook group, Everything is Funner with a Runner. And I must say I agree with many of the statements.
Here are my 20 favorite, “You might be a runner if’s…”
- You can remember a time from a race 4 years ago, but you can’t remember your friends’ birthdays.
- You double knot all your shoes out of habit
- You wake up every morning in pain.
- You can’t go a day without some little brat saying ‘run Forest run.’
- You have hundreds of safety pins scattered around your house
- You go to a golf course to run.
- Your shoes have more miles on them than your car does.
- You need a magnifying glass to see your name in the newspaper
- You have chafing in strange places.
- Your chest is as flat as your back.
- You can snot rocket while running.
- Your girlfriend can bench more than you.
- Your favorite food group is carbohydrates.
- Your highest heels are your training shoes.
- Your spit strings from your chin and you don’t even care.
- Gatorade is your drug of choice.
- If your car breaks down you never even consider hitching or calling for a ride.
- Your calves are bigger than your biceps.
- You try to impress girls by saying you’re a fast finisher.
- You’ve said “she’d be one hell of a pole vaulter” at a strip club.
