for the girls:
*Don't mind receiving or giving sweaty hugs to or from guys
*Have crushed on only hot track stars
* Wish you were as fast as nicole blood or any runner that makes FLs or the fastest runner in your section.
*Wish you could make nationals, but know you're kidding yourself.
*When you get injured go through major running withdrawal, and always bitch, moan and cry about how much you miss it and all your hard training for you "supposed to be breakout season" is down the drain.
*You aren't grossed out when guys from your team puke near or in front of you.
*Wished you were a twig but will never be
*Take more dumps than anyone in your house, even your brother or dad
* Wish that in teen magazines in the "traumarama" section some running horror stories get in, but never ever do :(
*Track meets take up your friday nights or saturdays and you're fine with that, that's your way to party
*Track meets are even better than slumber parties and you look forward to each track meet
*Wonder how your tight uniform makes your butt and chest look
*If a guy runs, he's AoK in your book
*Hate the sweaty bra stains while in the summer
*It doesn't matter how shitty your day was, when you get a PR that just made your day
*Some guy runners on your team or on another are cooler than your non-running bf
*Wondered for fun what runner you would date if you didn't have a bf
*When playing "M.A.S.H." with the girls on long bus rides, most of the "husbands" are track guys or track stars
* Wonder which runner you would marry to produce the fastest babies
*Laugh when girls in P.E. cry when you're told to run a mile
* Lap the preppy girls while jogging the mile while they decide which lap to walk
* People always say to you during school when they saw you run
* When younger girls on your team ask your mile time and after begrudgingly telling them, they say you're really fast even though you know you're nowhere close -
oh, forgot some other stuff
* When girls don't run at or better than their PR, they get very pissed and sometimes throw hissy fits
* When we have our periods, running sucks, no matter how much we love it or how great of a runner we are. We don't want to deal with feeling cranky and sluggy and exhausted.
* We drool over guy runners with abs and the guys on the front page of Runner's World who are hot and have abs :)
* We think of dieting at one point to go faster, but say screw it and eat that ice cream.
* We do think that we are fat at one point when comparing ourselves to the twigs of amazing runners in our section or county, yes so cliche but so true.
* We wish all cocky b*tches who we have to run against should die by a trampede of runners with spikes
* There is at least one girl runner in our area taht every girl knows and hates her guts for their own reason.
* Girls can be real nasty to run against. Some talk trash off the track, some play dirty on it.
* We dislike outkicking our teammates unless we hate them.
* We loves gossip at track meets and on the buses.
* When we daydream we envision winning states and nationals and beasting the mile or w/e event we run. -
