Finish the sentence.... you know you’re “into” running when.....

[Leosmit]

You are super excited when you see someone’s new trainers.

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate]

You lie in bed thinking of new running routes.

[ScottJB Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

Beat me to writing exactly this

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to ScottJB]

Soz! 😂

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

When your running clothes are taking over your wardrobe 🤣

When you're out walking the dog and you see a runner and you secretly watch them for a few seconds ( or is that just me ) 🤣🤣

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Plus out walking the dog, you analyse the route, footing and gradient and wonder what it would be like to run there.

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

😂😂

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Leosmit]

I totally get that - watching other runners!

[Couchpotato2 in reply to Buddy34]

no, I look at their running gait, their shoes, everything!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

You’re driving along noticing other runners and feeling a pang of envy .....

[Gwyrdd 60minGraduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

You no longer care what the neighbours think

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Gwyrdd]

Agree with this! At start of C25K, I used to drive to a town where no-one would know me.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

You say I"I'm not increasing distance" but you think "how can I add some extra Km's "

[Couchpotato2 in reply to Grannyhugs]

I'm not increasing speed either and not looking at stats (oh but why was I slower on that section and maybe I could just add a few kms...)

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2]

🤣🤣

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

Yea - what is that all about??!?

[RunWillie Graduate10]

you spend hours foam rolling and stretching so you can get back out there and injured yourself again 😂

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to RunWillie]

Put like that, 🤣🤣🤪🤪!

[Outdoorsy19 Graduate10]

You realise you’re day isn’t right unless you’ve actually been on a run or planned your next run tomorrow...

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10]

When your husband offers you another glass of wine and you decline because you have a run in the morning 😂

[Hidden in reply to BeetrootFace77]

I know! What's that all about?! 🤣

[Couchpotato2 in reply to BeetrootFace77]

yes, what is that about??? I do it too.

[BeetrootFace77 Graduate10]

He said the other day ‘what’s happened to you?’ So funny 🤣

[Hidden]

You know you are rocking a beetroot face, but you no longer care anymore!

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Totally with you on this one!!

[EThomas Graduate10]

When you set your alarm ridiculously early to run before a 12 hour shift at work and then don't sleep well because you are planning your route.

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to EThomas]

Yep. It’s official. You’re ‘into’ running. 😂

[Mum22boys Graduate10]

So many of these!!! Plus, you find yourself with 5 minutes to yourself (how did that happen 😂) so you go and read / watch something running related

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Mum22boys]

Yep- I end up on this forum!

[Couchpotato2]

you think, oh I'd quite fancy a little run and realise you've already had one that day

[ForestGrump63 60minGraduate]

You smell of deep heat not Chanel number 5

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to ForestGrump63]

That’s proper funny!! 🤣🤣

[Couchpotato2]

have signed up for running magazines / it's all you talk about / it's all you think about / have active dreams of running a marathon (and having to run to the start as you turned up late)

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

Running has infiltrated your dreams - that is serious! 😂

[Couchpotato2 in reply to Leosmit]

It is! I have to step back from it sometimes... bit of an obsession. Also today a few builders contacted me and said can we come tomorrow, I'm sure yes. Now I'm thinking how am i going to fit in my run around all this??

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

😖😖😂😂

[Elfe5 60minGraduate]

You keep spotting exciting new places to run when you are on holiday. 😄

[HeavyFoot Graduate10]

When you get talking to another runner and notice that all the other dinner guests have fallen asleep!

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to HeavyFoot]

Yes! Other people zone out VERY quickly! It’s interesting that no matter what stage you’re at, w1d1 of couch or much further in your running journey, there’s always soo much to talk about.
