Does it really matters what others think? Do we need validation from others in order to call ourselves runners?
I personally don't consider myself a runner (did years ago before giving it up for 20+ years) but someone who runs. However I have no idea what will make me a runner but doubt it will be anything to do with time. Maybe when my first toenail falls off!
Whatever I feel it is up to me and no-one else to give myself that label.

we do...when its hot..wear as little as possible
Well, that's a new factor all together.
Because if you only run once a week, surely you don't have the same passion as someone who runs twice a week etc.
So what level of passion makes you become a runner?
