When you start lying to your Wife for the first time ever....
e.g. those sport headphones were only a fiver, I've always had 4 pairs of running tights, the Hilly Arm Wallet - oh about a tenner...
When you forego a night in a 5 star hotel and drive home after the company Summer BBQ - just to run a 10k race the next day.
You use vaseline on more parts of your body than you ever thought you would.
Someone walks in to a room and says "What's that smell of deep heat and everyone says your name in unison"
You worry about eating food that might make you need to go to the loo quickly
You wish for the first time that you worked shifts and were home in the daylight.
Goldbeetle - so very true!!
Running Kev - an extension is hiding the new kit and pretending you've had it for ages!
I have also found myself taking annual leave just so I can fit in a run that otherwise I would ahve had to miss.
whilst driving , you think to yourself , wow this would be a good road to run on.
Father in law had that at the Leeds half a couple of years back and got ridiculed by everyone
"Got your number"
You can remember what training you did on big occasios,
eg. 21st Birthday, Your wedding day ! ( 6 miles Steady in the morning, as I was getting so fed up with people making me more nervous !! )
......when you've been up since 5 Reading about triathlons
Your ears prick up or you when someone uses the word 'run' or 'running'..
'let me run this past you'
'I'm running late'
' hit and run'
'running into problems'
'take the money and run'
Even my mascara runs sometimes too
..I spend my lunch breaks on Google maps, measuring different routes I plan to do, my Garmin 405 always nicks about 5% of the distance though
when in whsmiths you ignore all the magazines and go for the new runnersworld
You look forward to the Bank Holiday weekend because it means three days in a row running in the countryside at home rather than the streets of London...
You enter a marathon which just happens to be the middle Sunday of your holiday in Northumberland and don't tell your (non running) husband about it yet...(really must get round to telling him sometime...
)
You ask for Wiggle vouchers for your birthday and your family know what you are talking about...

Anyway, i'm not a runner, i'm a jogger
