You've ever woken up 2 hours after a long run in the middle of your living room floor and you can't remember how you got home.

You measure everything in meters, (I know my friends look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them something is 200 meters away)
you've started a ten miler thinking "im gonna take it easy today" only to find yourself sprinting at the end to break 60 minutes
you hate walking up steps
you own a gallon drum of gatorade mix
you lie in bed with your feet propped up on the wall
you have more than 4 ice bags in your freezer
you could open a running shoe store from your closet
on rainy days people ask you "Did you fall in the mud?"
Oh so true, the football benches in lane 1 have caused quite a stir in the heart rate when warming up in the track...also, when you want to kill the football team for walking on the track in cleats, yet you can't walk on their precious field in trainers
you spend the better part of an hour in front of the mirror examining your legs' definition from every possible angle, just to see how cool you must look walking around.
you think your fat when you wieght 140 pounds.people call you crazy for running and you say yeah so...on nice days, you don't want to stop running.30 seconds is a lot of time to lose for you.the internal question: spikes or flats?ice is nice!football players are amazed at your workouts.another popular question: YOU run for fun?our sport is others punishment.6 minutes is a slow opening mile.

Ha ha hahaha. Wimpy, sissy, puny runt runners.
i really liked the not being able to sprain your ankles anymore and the telling people distances in meters ones.
every time it's 33 degrees out, windy and raining you think about that nasty 10 miler/workout you did that one time in those conditions.
You've had more insults yelled at you while running than any other time in your life combined.
You go to mcdonalds and have 3 or 4 quarter pounders as a snack after supper(used to do this in high school a lot) and still never gain weight.
Eat the biggest plate of spaghetti you've ever had and be starving within 30 minutes.
Made fun of the ROTC people dying on their morning jog at 6am.
if you've scoffed at military people trying to impress you with the times they had to get up to run.
Think that running for an hour is not that long.
Run a mile faster on your warmup than anyone else you know at full speed.
Went outside without a shirt on in 60 degree weather because you know you'll get too hot.
Have heard of Coos Bay, Oregon.
Know what Hayward Field looks like even though you've never been within a 1000 miles of it.
Know how many miles your shoes have travelled.
Think walking a mile or two to a bar to avoid having to drive is not that bad.

You know the names of guys who beat you, but not the names of guys you've beaten.
