You Know Your'e a Tri/Runner Freak When...
1. You return your fancy ceramic Christmas gift watch (above), because you just realize it's not worth it, unlike maybe a new Garmin pace watch! So you get the Garmin and would have no problem with it being your new dress up watch.
2. Your daughter wakes up sick (uh...like this morning!) and your first thought is 'Dang! How am I gonna get my workouts in now?'
3. You're asked to work an extra day, and the first thing you think is 'Cool! That'll help buy my new running shoes!'
4. You see your post swim goggle marks and scrappy hair as badges of honor, as you walk in to order your morning sugar coffee
5. You meet your daughter's new friend named Cadence and you immediately think of your bike and run.
6. You'd way rather buy a Runner's World than a People magazine at the airport.
7. You plan a 10 day vacation to Hawaii...so you and DH can do a triathlon.
I feel like I could probably go on, but this is what's popped up for me the past few weeks. Can ya relate to any of it? I hope so, and I wanna know what makes you a tri/run freak? I need to hear it. We freaks need to stick together;-)

From one run freak to another...funny list!! I can totally relate to most of them:) If being runners is what makes us happy then it is okay to spend a little money every now and then!!

I drive around scoping potential running routes and road shoulder conditions. One always needs routes A, B, C, D, etc.
Hope your daughter is better. It was an ugly few days here. Didn't know the thermometer could go that high.
I have to admit, I'm a bit obsessed with being FIRST!!!!!!!!! comment. :)
That's a great list and definitely made me smile. I will contribute: you know you are a running freak when you are willing to spend the afternoon at work with a red face and wet hair just to squeeze in that lunch time workout!
(Love my Garmin. She is my baby.)
I absolutely loved this post! I am with you on every single one of them. Infact, I were my sports watch to my sisters wedding...and they had to ask me to take it off for pictures! I feel naked without it!
This list is Fun. I Love hawaii
