You know you’re a runner when you keep body glide next to your garmin next to your heart rate monitor next to your road id.

Hi:

I know you wrote this a while ago, but I loved it and thought it quite funny. I actually wrote about it on my running blog and hope you’ll check it out:

Anyways, thanks again for the amusing piece!

I can totally relate to a lot of these.

First of all, I don’t think fartlek is a funny word at all…especially after I’ve run it. : ]

Also, another one could be, “You know you’re a runner if you run 6 miles on a day off.”

I was reading through the comments and came up with few more for the list.

“You know you’re a runner when you know what things like BQ, PB, PR,DFL and others stand for.”

“You own more running shoes then you do dress shoes.”

#2 – It drives my non-running husband NUTS when I interchange metric and imperial distances in conversations. On really long runs I amuse myself by calculating my pace in both systems.

If it weren’t for #8 I would never have taken anal chafing seriously or serious chafing anally… whatever – good runners share gross lessons!

#13 … Your vacation schedule gets planned around your race schedule.

Hmmm! Sounds like a run a had with my running partner last weekend at 6:30am on a Saturday talking about gross bodily fluids. I am runner!

Weiner bite is easy to laugh at when you are immune from it, ladies.

I’ll tell you from experience, though, that the only thing worse than weiner bite is trying to get into a hot shower before you have completely thawed out…

Thanks for the laff. But I never heard of Weiner Bite. I’m guessing it’s not when you get bitten by one of those little weiner dogs when you’re out on a run.
