You Know You're a Runner When...

First of all thank you, Amber, for letting me contribute to this blog. Secondly, I sort of apologize for what I'm about to post. I know it's cheesy, but, I think it's sort of fun as well.

You know you're a runner when...
- 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 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 have dreams about showing up to a race late or not wearing any clothes.
- you're not embarrassed to wear spandex.
- 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 know where exactly one mile from your front door is (in any direction).
- you own more pairs of running socks than dress socks.
- your holiday wish list can be fulfilled at any running or sporting goods store.
- your Facebook or Twitter updates frequently involve running. 
- your running partners know more about your bodily functions than your significant other.
- you get jealous when you're driving in your car and pass runners.

You can find the longer list here. Hope you enjoyed them!
