You can tell you're a runner when....

[rr76]

A song comes on the radio and your first thought is 'that'll make a great addition to my running playlist'.

[Miles_Yonder Graduate]

Great topic!

When you're driving along and the sat-nav says there's 13.1 miles to the destination and you shout, loudly, "THAT'S A HALF MARATHON!" as I did just yesterday.

[paul2014 Graduate in reply to Miles_Yonder]

You've got it bad, matey

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to Miles_Yonder]

Hahahahahahaha Only you, M_Y. Only you!

[notbad Graduate]

When out walking and a runner goes past your eyes are drawn to their feet, as you keenly study their gait.... (or it may just be me!)

[poppypug Graduate in reply to notbad]

Hey Notbad, Yep , definitely this one everytime , I just cant help myself ! xxx

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to notbad]

I do that too! Glad I'm not the only one. Was starting to think I was being a bit weird!

[Delilah_77 Graduate in reply to notbad]

I generally look at how knackered they look, and if they look fine even though they are speeding along I get runner envy..

[notbad Graduate in reply to Delilah_77]

Oh yes, I get that too!

[paul2014 Graduate]

........your grandchildren tell you that you can turn any topic of conversation onto running

[I_will Graduate in reply to paul2014]

Yep, my kids just roll their eyes now!

[carole01 Graduate]

When you obsess about temperature conditions!! Waiting for it cool or rain to get a good, long run from!

[Irishprincess Graduate]

When you go away on holiday or even for a few days, and your first thought is "where can I go for a run?".

[Delilah_77 Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

I'm in the middle of trying to figure this out right now!

[bikergirl Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Ditto this

[misswobble Graduate]

I look at their trainers and want to know what they are!

I agree about the music! I think my next one to go on my playlist is Resurrection, Stone Roses

[I_will Graduate]

When the first thing you think when you wake up is, 'Is it a running day?'

When you see bananas and think of running.

When you're driving along and you find yourself saying, 'that's where I swallowed a fly', and, 'that's my 'top of the hill' marker', and, 'this hill really is actually level'

[bikergirl Graduate]

You know your a runner (from nhsc25k) when you see someone out running who looks like they are struggling... And you feel a sudden urge to encourage them

[tomlertoos Graduate]

Yep, I agree with all the comments....I've even dreamt about running , so there's no escape!!

[CasFowler]

I do that too but knew got running bug when my other half asks me what do you want for your birthday... my reply could do with some running shorts vets and socks... love a garmin forerunner too... what!@@

[ginbin Graduate]

Whe you have your running shoes color coordinated with your shorts & tees.

[rr76 Graduate]

Thanks for all your replies everyone. When you wake up and are disappointed it's not a running day.
