Am I the only one that thinks a lot about running

It isn't normal that you think it isn't normal.

Yeah I'm a senior in high school and think about running all the time- I'm a girl. I think a lot about running really fast and feeling really great, basically the same kind of day dreaming. I also spend a lot of time on runnersworld.com and other sites. I guess it's a good thing because it shows that you are dedicated and really care about being better, improving etc. I feel like it can get kinda obsessive, but also if you really want something ( a pr, to be better, whatever) I think/ hope it is normal to think about it a lot.

Wow another senior girl on LetsRun! More of us than I thought

I am a runner and a rock climber, and I joke that running is the only thing that can make me stop thinking about climbing, and climbing is the only thing that can make me stop thinking about running. Of course, there are times when I am running, but thinking about a climb, and climbing, thinking about a race....

Senior in college here. I seriously think about running all the time. I think about the possibility of the next run being the best run of my life. I think about running further and faster. I think about how i look while i run. I think about injuries. I think about running clothes. I think about finding a girl out there who loves running and finds my running just as cool.

Normal? I dont know, but I dont particularly care either. Im happy with the way things are

Maybe you are the only illegal immigrant at your high school.

(drum roll.... cymbal crash)

No, seek help, you're not normal. Clearly you're alone because otherwise there would be a site called letsrun.com with a forum that gets bombarded with BS posts 24 hours a day.

Hello. 32 year old guy here. It is normal

All athletes think about there sport a lot. Just remember to keep it fun and in perspective. Also try to stay in balance. Socially, mentally, and physically.

Late 40s guy.

Me too
