You Might Be A Runner If...

3 You call all other sports cross-training.

4 You can convert kilometers to miles in your head.

5 You drive 100 miles to a 5K race.

6 You know how to spell "orthotics" correctly.

7 After finishing a 10K race, you fill out the time card, grab a banana and run the course again.

8 You know that lactate threshold isnt the amount of breast milk your wife can pump out in a 24 hour span.

9 You are no longer asked "What are you doing this weekend?".

17 You always check the "no t-shirt" option.

18 When someone asks your age, you reply with a 5 year age range.

19 You log your mileage.

20 Your bumper sticker says "26.2".

21 You're a "few" pounds overweight and so you rationalize "I'll have to add a few miles to my weekly mileage".

22 People ask you every Monday how you did in your race.

23 You know the location of every public drinking fountain within 20 miles of your home.
