Have you noticed that your non runner friends consider us a weird,unsociable,insular,lonely breed? Perhaps this is because we have no spare time for socialising(except with fellow training partners). They cant understand why we would want to pound the streets morning and night in cold, rainy, dark conditions wearing tights!
They dont realise how physically and mentally challenging our dedication and committment to this sport really is in reality.
Ever likely we all stick together and only talk running!
A special breed?
