  1. Considering I ran 12 miles last night- I can completely understand her sentiments. I also came across a great add in a runners journal the other day- it goes as follows:

    You might be a runner if…

    -you enjoy running hills
    -you have chafing in strange places
    -people say, “you run three miles…at once?
    -you eat your weight in spaghetti
    -your toenails are black
    -your shoes have more miles on them than your car
    -you can say “fartlek” with a straight face
    -four minutes is a sacred duration of time
    -you always stretch while waiting in line for coffee
    -you combine phrases like “ten miles” and “easy run”
    -you can say Plantar Fasciitis and lliotibal Band Syndrome- and know what they are

    I thought this was funny- have a nice one!
