Some runners are intense about their training and racing, some runners run more for recreation or health reasons, but all runners develop the habit which can become what many refer to as a “Running Problem.” I’m not a doctor, but if you have experienced any of the symptoms below you may have a running problem, and the only cure is: more running of course! And being able to laugh at yourself…
You Might Have a Running Problem if…
…you try to guess runners’ ages as you pass them
…say the words “easy” and “10 miles” in the same sentence.
…have heard the phrase “Run Forest Run” at least 100 times.
…spit on yourself sometimes.
…choose your hairstyle based on aerodynamics.
…wash your shorts in the shower.
…correct people when they say a marathon is 26 miles with that it is in fact 26.2 miles.
…no longer laugh at the term “fartlek.”
…tape your nipples.
…constantly get high…off running!
Feel free to comment with any other symptoms you’ve experienced! You could save some one’s life…
…you HAVE to go running even if it is minus zero and snowing
…slap dudes on the ass when you sprint past them.
@Doug Not sure about that, but I did tap a dude on the left shoulder and passed him on the right during a High School track 4×400 relay race. This was the last relay of the meet and it would determine the overall winner for the track meet. I was the 3rd leg and the slowest runner on my relay team, so I knew when I passed the other runner that we would surely win. I wish I was still a cocky 15 year old…
No. We like you better the way you are now.
I get pissed when people refer to what I do as “jogging”.
…you know what everyone on the block has to leave for work in the morning.
…you worry about where you are going to train on a vacation.
