You know you are a runner when ...
Your toenails are black and you're not wearing nail polish
The only reason you wear high heels is to rest your achilles tendons
YOu have more runners than regular shoes
YOu plan your holidays around races and marathons
YOu get jealous when you see other runners out when you are on a rest day or have already run
You try and figure what pace runners are doing when you are stuck in traffic and they run past you.
You no longer lie in at the weekends so you can get a good long run in while everyone is still in bed.
You put on bodyglide instead of deodorant and you dont notice
most of your t=shirts are eithyer technical fabric or are finishers shirts from previous races

you know you're a runner when you physically miss running when you are tapering/recovering/injured or just traniing for something else that requires less runnign like a triathlon!

Corinthian - for sure!!
When your stress dreams are about being late for races.
You know you're a runner when you realise you check in on Runners World at every given opportunity during the day and the book you are reading when you aren't checking RW is about......running
Or you keep making sure the Garmin 305 appears in your boyfriend's Amazon browsing history in the hope that he'll get the hint for your impending birthday.
And, when people ask you what your plans are for the weekend and your first response is to fill them in with your planned mileage.
You have a bag of peas in the freezer that must never, ever be opened because you've been using them for 3 months as an ice pack?
Love it running rodent!
You block the washing machine by washing your muddy trainers
You find exuses if a usual route takes you 30 secs longer than usual
Your legs have scratches up them (and you don't have a pet!)
