Repost from Brian Morrissey’s blog, ‘the internal pigdog’. Bolded are the ones that apply to me… *gulp* (and the iPod one is semi-applicable)!
- You have a watch that gives splits
- Your nipples have bled/You’ve had chafe under the band of your bra or bra straps that burns when you run and/or bleeds.
- You’ve qualified for Boston or if you haven’t yet would never get a number another way
- You have relieved yourself outside before a race
- You’ve taken an ice bath
- You’ve been hospitalized because of dehydration
- You canceled your Runners World subscription because it’s all about getting great abs
- You’ve said “only 14 miles” when describing a run
- You’ve lost a toenail
- You think running with an iPod is missing the whole point
Wait until you run up Pike’s Peak. Do the Ascent, it’s awesome. They hooked up a canister of oxygen to my face when I finished. You haven’t lived until your brain swells and presses (painfully) on your cranium. So, so cool…
Next August, I’m there!
I’m 2 short of you…never had a Runner’s World subscription, and my toenails are still intact. Other than that, all the others you have bolded apply.
well… perhaps you win, since you never bothered to get a subscription??
