You know you're a hobbyjogger if............

Um, calling someone illiterate is not a grammar correction. Yes, this would be considered a logic correction.

Can we assume you're done with the grammar corrections now?

This thread is awesome.

You know you are a hobby jogger if:

-You fight with people on Letsrun about the term Hobby jogger

You think that ultras are actual races.

Being a snobbish 2nd or 3rd tier runner doesn't keep you from being a hobbyjogger. You're a hobbyjogger if you aren't supporting yourself by your running either through earning money directly or by being on scholarship. That's probably at least 95% of the people on this board.

OP's list doesn't tell you whether someone is running as a "hobby" or not, and as countless threads on LR show, no one can come up with a meaningful definition of "jogger" except as an insult for running snobs to throw around.

One thing we can agree on, Picayune is a douche.

So what have you decided other people are allowed to call a race?

Okay, douchetits is perhaps the funniest term I've heard in a long time. Laughing my ass off at that one (no, not LOL, LMAO or even LMFAO for all you dicks who use those queer abbrevs).Douchetits. I'm still laughing at that one. Thanks.

you describe yourself as a loyal (Asics/Brooks/Saucony)person - that is, you don't wear a shoe, you wear a brand. But you wear the top (stability/neutral...cross out the inapplicable) trainer of said brand, thus they have your loyalty, even though the execs of abovementioned conglomerates are unaware of your existence.

You troll about hobbyjoggers on letsrun instead of training ro run in a real race (NC/OT)

8/10

Well you guys got me.. I am a hobby jogger.

I've alway been a fan of poocrumbs.

I think any runner who uses running just to be part of a particular group of people, rather than running for the pure love of it is a hobbyjogger. It's how seriously you take it. I've heard people who run 1:50 half marathon brag to the hair cutter about running 13.1 miles across the room from me. That, my friend, is not a real runner.

Who cares if you eat a burger? Stop worrying about what you eat just because of what runnersworld tells you.

I rock arm warmers if they're necessary, have a set of mean compression argyle socks, my post race meal is a burger and a beer, I like my Garmin because I got tired of doing 51 minute ten mile tempos on the track, have about 15 different pairs of shoes in rotation, work 60 hours a week, and I've run 14:05.

I'll race you "real runners" if you want.

Josh Cox was talking about how much he loved hamburgers at the Boston expo. ::insert complaints about how much you hate cox...now::Oh, I have a Boston jacket. Who cares?

That was Wanjiru's meal following his Olympic marathon victory, yeah he qualifies as a hobby jogger. Eating it all the the time, yeah that's bad. But once after finishing a race? Come on moron.

A cheeseburger is a hamburger without the ham.

you pr by 5 minutes in the 10k every time your run it

...you are worried about the distinction between runners and hobbyjoggers.

Peace.
