Terri’s Cool Running Top Ten List

The Gazelle and I were talking recently about cool blog posts.  And we came up with this. I am so excited to share this with you.

I usually giggle when I listen to Dave Letterman’s Top Ten List.  So with a nod of thanks to Dave, our very own Top Ten List.

You Know You Are a Runner When:

11.  Ok so we came up with more than 10!  Here goes!

11. If your long run is in -30 degree weather you must be a runner.  And a Canadian one at that!

10.  If you get up at 4.30 a.m.  to run early and  beat the summer humidity,  you must be a Canadian runner.

9.  If you go to physio or ART  to run in a 5, 10 half-marathon or full marathon you must be a runner.

8.  If you  can use the term fartlek in any conversation properly, you must be a runner.

7.  If you can drink water while you run, without choking, you must be a runner.  A far more talented one than me!

6.  If your ankles are bloody or your toe nails are falling off, and you aren’t concerned, you must be a runner.

5.  If you can describe a trail by the scenery and where the kilometre markers are, you must be a runner.

4.  If you can wear spandex and not be in the least embarassed, you must be a runner.

3.  If you have a Garmin, any watch, a waterbottle, and fuel belt, you must be a runner.

2.  If you can strike up a conversation with anyone wearing great looking running shoes, you must be a runner.

And finally …

1.  If you have a pair of running shoes that cost the same amount as a weeks worth of groceries.  You must be a runner.

I hope you got a giggle or more out of our list.  And if you have an addition, please feel free to send it along!
