Happy Friday! Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?
The weather is going to be incredible! Perfect for spending it outside at beer fest Saturday & wine tasting on Sunday. Funny thing is I don’t drink, but I love going to outdoor events and don’t mind being the DD at all.
I’m gearing up to hit the trail for a run and hoping to do 6 miles, but we shall see.
I thought it would be fun to share with you a few signs you might be a runner.
- When people ask what happens if it rains during a race, you tell them “you get wet.”
- Your looking at SCB instead of Facebook.
- Your monthly bills spread sheet has “race fees” column next to mortgage, gas, insurance…
- You choose to run an extra mile instead of doing your hair.
- You live in the US and know how far a kilometer is.
- You know the exact mileage from your home to landmarks around town.
- You can use endorphins in a sentence.
- You get excited about getting older because of the extra time you get to qualify for Boston.
- When you say “Garmin” you are not referring to GPS in your car, but your running watch.
- You know where your “IT band” is located and that it needs to be foam rolled a lot.
- When you hear people say “PR” you think “Personal Record” not “Public Relations.”
- Advil is your recreational drug of choice.
- You know where every water fountain in town is located.
Now add yours!!
Love this list!
You know you are a runner when you check your calendar to see how many races you can handle.
Or when you’re driving home and see a runner on the , you want to get home faster so you can be out there doing the same thing.
that might be just me though. . .
Yes & yes especially if your injured.
This is 100% accurate! I do many of these things & could totally write a post “You know you workout if…” Enjoy all of your fun events this weekend!
We could go on, right!! I hope you have a great weekend!
hilarious and so true! i found myself nodding my head to all of them! have a great run today
Right!? Have a fantastic weekend!
You know your a runner when you’ll easily spend 100+ plus on running shoes but won’t consider that for any other type of clothing. Maybe that is just me…
Nope definitely just you. I really want some new running shoes but need shoes for my new job. Decisions…
I’m with you! I was at a shoe store this weekend and had no problem laying down a chunk of money for running shoes, but for work shoes I thought, ” I will just get something cheap from Target!”
Yes! That too. I actually did the cheap non running shoe thing today. Happy running!
It’s a sickness we have, I swear!!
Great post! How about you know how to plan your long runs to hit bathrooms along the way
I’m running hopefully 10 miles and a trail 10k! Love me some trails
Oh yes, that too! Have a great run!
Lol! Sooo true! When I was pregnant I’d run the same 3 mile loop over and over so I could hit up the park restroom multiple times.
Ok seriously I should have read this before I texted you !! Lol duhh !! Well am I a runner if I’m excited that my husband can’t run his race & I get to take his place ?!?! Lol
No worries at all. Good luck tomorrow!
Love this! “Your monthly bills spread sheet has “race fees” column next to mortgage, gas, insurance…” hits home with me today. Just paid four race fees today. Daughter and I are now registered for two more races!
I’m so happy you guys are racing again!! I loved reading your recap!
Thanks!! It feels great to be out there again!
