You wake up with a hangover and think 'five miles should sort it...'
You stop drinking on a night out after two drinks, thinking "I can't run with a hangover".
You think a shower is a waste of time if you haven't run first.
you think half of 26.2 is 20
When you're driving past a runner in shorts and vest in sleeting rain in January, and the only thought that comes to mind is I wish it was me.

When you have more Jelly Babies than Doctor Who.
When you need to dash out to tescos, and the only leggings you can find in the house to put on have OMM printed on them in big letters.

You know the ages of all your friends to the nearest five years.

I've been trying to shake this mental image without success, damn you
Not funny, or pithy, but when you accept the offer of a free newspaper in the supermarket, as you can't roll up a website and stuff it inside wet shoes..
...when you think nothing of climbing a gate to use a field as a toilet, Without even realising that the only other time you'd do that is when you are pissed and carrying a kebab....
You own 6 pairs of shoes, and 5 of them are running shoes.
When you've spent five minutes looking for an 'L' sock to go with your 'R' sock.
When you can instantly say how many minutes there are in three and three-quarter hours.
