“Top 10 Signs You’re a Running Fanatic”

(GB is a running fanatic?!)

(Yeah, this picture just made me laugh. And he’s number one in the race. Heh.)

This morning I came across a really cute and funny article on FitSugar.com titled “Top 10 Signs You’re a Running Fanatic” and I just had to share it with you guys! And if you are shaking your head yes to these, you have to tell me! Because I was laughing at how true some of them are! :)

  1. For your birthday, you’d rather see a box from Nike than a box from Tiffany’s.
  2. You own more sports bras than regular bras.
  3. When someone asks you out for a date, you assume it’s to go running.
  4. At least one of your toenails is black or missing.
  5. When your heart is pounding, you’re breathing heavy, and you’re covered in sweat, you’re not in the bedroom.
  6. You’d rather kick up some dirt than kick back a beer.
  7. Your typical conversations involve words like fartlek, negative split, and pronate.
  8. You’re overly familiar with the iliotibial band and just refer to it as the ITB.
  9. You accessorize your outfit with a heart rate monitor watch, sweat band, and band-aids on your feet.
  10. You wear sneakers at all times, just in case you can squeeze in some quick intervals.

I don’t know about number ten, since I loove my heels, but I can totally relate to a lot of these! And hey, if you’re doing the work you might as well embrace the lifestyle, right? So this brings me to my question:

How does being known as a runner (or an active person) make you feel?

    I can say pretty much ALL of those- #10 is questionable for me too. I used to love heels, but my mileage has gone up so much that I can’t wear them much anymore, my feet don’t need to constantly hate me. But living in FL I have a need to wear flip flops every day, but I do keep my running shoes in the car…just in case:)

    Haha, I keep heels in my car just in case :) I guess I haven’t made the transition to runner yet, then!
