You can't look at a clock without thinking of your last PR
Your spouse/friends fall asleep right in the middle of THE best running story EVER
You stop people in stores, malls, any public place and ask them where they got their cool sneakers
You belong to more than one running club
You get in a heated argument over why YOUR favorite brand of running shoe is THE best

You have shortcut links to all of them on your desktop
You keep a running blog (haha)
You see the high school track team running down the street and you wanna jump out of your car and run with them
You see the track team and hope they've hydrated properly in this Florida heat

You buy your spouse a pair of Asics running shoes for Valentine's Day because you want his feet to feel good (and they have a red stripe on 'em, really cool)
The only kind of clothing you've bought for yourself in the last 3 months is work out/athletic wear
You can't remember the last time you wore sandals or went barefoot
You know what body glide is
You own a cool pair of Injinjys
You know what Injinjys are
You rate the weather by whether or not it's a good running day
Your jaccuzzi goes from being a fun place to hangout, to being part of pain therapy
Your family doesn't laugh anymore when you say you're going out for a run
You've been bitten on the behind by a dog while running and the first thought is "this better not interfere with my marathon training!"

You write about the "other" effects of running on your blog (this means you, SHERRY...LOL)

ROFLMAO!!!
Ahhh.... too funny AND too true! I nearly spit my coffee out when reading "bitten on the behind"!
What a way to start a Saturday! :o)
Forgot to ask... do you really think Injinji socks make much a of a noticable difference? I've been eyeballing them, but I have trouble grasping the idea/benefit behind toe socks. How do you feel they compare to regular socks?
Saw your link on the Roads Scholar and thought I would check your blog out.
The only other thing I would add is you meet some of the best people in the world running.
