And I am off!

Ok guys I am off on my vacation this Sunday...so this will be my last blog until I come back on the 13th. This one is a short one...just something I stole from a friend ;). Enjoy!

Thought I would share the following which I stole from Vane Runs NYC: This was posted on Flotrack (think Facebook for runners)


You know your a runner when:
• your first thought when you look at the weekly weather forecast is, “When can I fit in my runs?”
• you have more running clothes than regular clothes in your laundry pile.
• you’ve lost a toenail. And you tell people, “It’s not that bad.”
• you smirk when non-runners ask you, “So how long is this marathon?”
• you have a drawer full of medals and other race souvenirs that you’re not sure what to do with.
• you go into Starbucks more often to use the bathroom than to actually buy coffee.
• you no longer make fun of fanny packs because your running belt looks very similar (although cooler) to one.
• you’ve used an old race T-shirt to wash your car, dust furniture, or clean something else.
• your treadmill has more miles on it than your car.
• you get an invitation to a wedding and you automatically think about what race the date will conflict with.
• you have dreams about showing up to a race late or not wearing any clothes.
• you’re not embarrassed to wear spandex.
• the salespeople at your local running shop know you by name.
• you’re always hungry.
• you know how to take a cup of water from a water stop without choking on it or spilling it all over yourself.
• at least one of your web site usernames or email addresses has the word “run” or “runner” in it.
• you know where your illiotibial band is located.
• you no longer hate port-a-johns. In fact, there have been times when you’ve been very happy to see one.
• you wear your running watch even when you’re not running. (”It matches, right?”)
• you’ve had your running shoes for three months and you know it’s already time to replace them.
• you spend more time researching running routes than local restaurants when traveling to a new city.
• your physical therapist’s receptionist knows you by the sound of your voice on the phone.
• you know where exactly one mile from your front door is (in any direction).
• you know how to correctly spell and pronounce plantar fasciitis.
• you own more pairs of running socks than dress socks.
• when you hear PR, you automatically think “personal record”, not “public relations”.
• you pack more running clothes than bathing suits when going on a beach vacation.
• you have running clothes and an extra pair of running shoes in your car, “just in case.”
• your holiday wish list can be fulfilled at any running or sporting goods store.
• one of the first things people ask you when they haven’t seen you in a while is,”What race are you training for now?”
• you have several drawers dedicated to running shirts.
• you get excited when the new Runner’s World comes in the mail.
• your Facebook or Twitter updates frequently involve running.
• your only recent photos of you alone are race photos.• you always have your next race on the calendar.
• your runs are sometimes longer than your commute to work or school.
• your running partners know more about your bodily functions than your significant other.
