Hope these haven't been mentioned before...
You know your way around town from running.
People around town, even if they don't know your name, know you when they see you in public because they see you running everywhere.
You've gotten lost on a run--and kinda enjoyed it.
You dread the tapers.
You'll run anytime through anything to get your run in (thunderstorms, two feet of snow, 2am, etc.).
Oh, I thought I'd mention a couple more--
You have dreams about running.
You're the only one at work in an upbeat mood, having done your run before work.
Drivers of muscle cars and pick-ups with oversized wheels attempt to run you down.
You might be a runner if...
The only place you get asked out at is races
You eat more then any of the guys you know
When non running girls say there fat you agree with them
You 'forget' to shave your legs for weeks on end
You post messages on Lets Run .com!
you have no other life except constant training twice a day in mud rain and cold.Always in track tights and rain jacket with cold wet feet for hours whilst running alone. Bring controlled by your hard tough coach and not being able to drink alcohol or eat junk food. A sweaty, hot, smelly body- with no mates except fellow runners who only talk running.
Train, pain and glory - its worth every step over the 100 plus miles every week of the year. I love it and have been doing so for the past 20 years.

you wish you were born in africa
- you wipe your ass with rocks.
- you wipe your ass with pinecones.
- you wipe your ass with snowballs.
- you wipe your ass with moss.
- you wiped your ass with a plastic bag that someone else had already used to wipe their ass.

...you don't recognize your team mates with their clothes on.
...you get territorial with non-runners step on your track

You've run in the airport while waiting for your flight
and you were stopped and interrogated by the TSA.
You think distance runners are sexy.
