You Call Yourself a Long Distance Runner? #Proof

Distance Runners.

We are a unique breed in my opinion….possibly slightly crazy I would even venture to say?

1. You wear compression socks even when you aren’t running, and I’m not talking for recovery. But because you LIKE to wear them.  CHECK!

2. You get butterflies waiting for race registration to open up online. CHECK!

3. There is a cabinet in your kitchen specifically for fueling/hydration. CHECK!

4. You have watched a marathon on TV. To the average person it’s almost as exciting as watching paint dry. CHECK!

5. You have painted your toes….where the toenail USED to be. *This has actually never happened to ME, but to most of my long distance runner friends.*

6. You have nightmares about forgetting your GPS watch on race day.  CHECK CHECK!

7. You can remember all of your race PR’s but you can’t remember the year of your child’s birthday. Yep, that just happened to me…..*sigh* CHECK

8. You have turned down a night out with your friends or a date with your husband because you have to get up early the next day for your long run. CHECK CHECK CHECK

9.  You document your mileage, pace and every detail of your run using an online tracker AND an old fashioned paper journal.  CHECK CHECK!

10. You own multiple torture devices. CHECK!

11. You wear Kinesiology tape like it’s a fashion accessory. OHHH, Definitely CHECK!

12. You see an orthopedic doctor, a physical therapist, a chiropractor, a masseuse and an acupuncturist to keep you running.  Sometimes all in the same week. *Ok, so I’ve never seen an acupuncturist.*blogger-image-738965453

Not only is it not Friday, it's not even Thursday.
Came home after a short run and my  dog peed a little because he was happy  to see me. None of my friends pee when  they see me. I'm surrounded by fakes
80% of arguments start because  someone hasn't run yet.

I got a $25 gift card to Fleet Feet,  so no I gotta come up with  $257 of my own money to  complete my purchase
Suck it up... So one day you won't have to suck it in
To that friend who has never been  tired of listening to my problems.  Thank you. I owe you a lot.
You know you're a runner when you categorize your friends as "Running friends" and "The Others"
WARNING  I'm exercising, eating right and  watching my alcohol intake. Which  means I'm sober, I'm cranky and I'm  sore. So proceed with caution
“I’m dying is this over with yet….OOH PHOTOGRAPHER!!!”
The most awkward thing about running with friends is figuring out which person  is going to be the fast runner who is taking it easy for the day, and which person is the slowpoke who is  running much faster than  usual but pretending  t...
