You might be a runner if...
Click the title above for a massive list of "You might be a runner if...'s". I've included some of the ones that stuck out for me below.
...Your heart makes the bed shake.
I thought I was the only one! This is a slight exaggeration, nonetheless, I recognize the feeling of laying in bed trying to fall asleep, but my own heart beat is keeping me awake because it feels like somebody nudging my whole body.
...You ever came to the end of a trail and had to ask a very confused person what town you were in.
Been there.
...You go backpacking for two weeks in the mountains and get out of shape.
I was nervous about running in college. Williams has a backpacking program that begins before classes start. I got really worried about my training when I learned from another backpacking group that there was some girl doing XC (Michelle Rorke) who was running 8 miles or something like that after the daily hike each day.
...your running shirts have achieved that "very fine" feel as though they're made of tissue paper.
I love shirts that feel that way.
...you have bald spots on the inside of your calves.
...You almost wish that a pickpocket would grab your wallet so that you could chase him down.
Haha. Yes, I've fantasized about that. I mean, how cool would that be?
...You know that the best cure for constipation is mile 3 of 15.
Unfortunately, all too true.
