Signs of a Running Addict

(this is just for fun)

You may be addicted to running if:

-There are two sizes of jeans in your closet: one for training season and one for off season (so true!)
-You experience temporary memory loss: You limp across the marathon finish line in complete pain and exhaustion, vow to never run another marathon again, then turn around and start training for the next one a few weeks later
-You can name the exact distance from your house to every landmark around the city (or town)
-You can eat 4,500 calories and still be in negative calories for the day
-You can't see out of your rear windshield because it's covered with stickers from all the races you've run
-You could watch an entire marathon and not get bored
-You consistently check out all the running stores for the latest styles
-Your shoe collection consists of more running shoes than regular shoes
-You get excited when you find a new GU or Energy Block flavor
-You keep track of your shoe's mileage (only an addicted runner could appreciate this)
-You get up earlier on weekends to run than you do during the week for work
- You plan your family vacations around your races
-Your race is part of your family vacation
-You have your race schedule for the next year planned before the current season is even over
-Your tan lines from your running tank and shorts are darker than your swimming suit tan lines
-If you miss a day of running, everyone avoids you because of the bad mood you're in
-If you miss a day of running, your whole day is thrown off
-You climb into bed at night, and you're still wearing your Garmin

*If you have any "signs" of your own to add to this list, please feel free. I have come to learn that you just never know how far a runner's addiction will go............ HAPPY RUNNING! :)
