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

Seen a lot of slim chicks posting their

workouts on here so I thought I'd join 

the fun
Warning : I will bully every one of you

into daily stretches, plyo drills, crazy 

intervals, lifting heavy weights and 

epic long runs
104 °F.....  As my Grandma says, 

"Marathon training ain't for p*ssies."



Crazy old lady is right.

Sure, maybe the universe is f*cking  with you. Or maybe you just made  some poor training choices.
Shout out to all the runners who wake  up tired AF and still go for the morning run without missing a beat.  You are my people.
Nobody has seen you at your ugliest  like your running friends have
So apparently running naked means no music, no watch, no GPS, no electronics period. I wish I knew this an hour ago
There's a runner right now thinking  "I'll stretch as soon as I get home"  That's the devil talking.
RUNNING OXYMORONS:  * easy five miles  * "only" a half marathon  * humble marathoner  * sanitary porta potty  * ten perfect toenails  * pre-run stretches  * fast recovery  YIKES!!
I saw this girl on the trail today...  No iPhone.  No earbuds.  No smart watch.  No hydration.  She just ran.  Like a total psycho.
Sometimes I wonder what happened  to the hikers who asked me for  directions

Your inspirational quote has inspired  me to mute you.
AW YEAH IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT AND  YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS *turns down the lights* *take an ibuprofen* *puts in mouth guard*
Sorry for anything I said while it was  109 outside
If you don't go for a run, how do you  know when to take a shower?
