You know you're a runner if...

Get embarrassed when you hear someone yelling track because you know it means your too slow

you see a group of school children run by and mutter approvingly about their mid-foot strike.

First tendency when hearing someones time is to covert it to mile pace to compare your times to theirs if you dont run same distance (making allowances for distance variation)

You speed up to go faster than the lazy idiots on their $2000 bicylcles.

You get up at 4 am to watch a European marathon on the internet

You can diagnose running injuries better than the local sports Dr

You poop up to four times before heading out on your Saturday long run

You can recognize other runners over a 1/2 mile away by their form

You have experienced one of the following:

1) Dog bite

2) Verbal altercation with a motorist

3) Impromptu speed work when a jogger tries to tag along during an easy run

You misspelll words and dont know how to use apostrophe's.

OH MY B! I forget an apostrophe in "hasn't" and the clarifier gets on my dick about it. BTdubs buddy, you used an apostrophe wrong!

Shut the hell up.

You can race 5km without asking for a prediction

you are sick of that over run used up annoying ass route that is supposed to be 5 miles, but isn't and you know this because you have mapped it with both your gps and mapmyrun.com and it is only 4.66 miles!

When you see an out-of-shape non-runner wearing a pair of trainers and think "that person does not deserve that shoe".

you are currently sore to the core.

that is a good thing: you worked hard.

long runs aren't a chore, they are relaxing

you wash your running clothes while taking a shower.

When the town parks department decides to pave one of the local trails, you take it like a death in the family.

you often count change wrong because you forget that there are 100 pennies in a dollar, not 60.

my favorite one so far I actually lol'd

You know you're a nerdy runner if...

The fact that there are 1609.344 meters in a mile is essential to your life (figuring out what pace a metric-measured run was at)

You know that there are 26.21875 miles in a marathon

You know more than one PR (to the second, often one hundreth of a second) of literally hundreds of different runners.

there are times when your socks have been sacrificed as Toilet paper

Point of clarification (because that's what I do).

I wasn't picking on you. The response was simply to the original post on the thread (I didn't even notice your grammaticals).

Reading the "entirety" of my post and considering the context (LRF), it should be obvious (without pics) what I did.

Next time you are in town, I'll buy you an ice cream.

Shut the hell up yourself.

Oh yeah, I would have put a smiley face at the end of the last comment, but I don't do smiley faces.
