you know you are a runner when.......

1) you know which manholes are open in your locality
2) While driving you remember exactly where the pothole is
3) you are getting down the stairs your shoulder lifts automatically and you find yourself jumping on the stairs
4) You start eating like a pig
5) your laundry basket is full of running tees and shorts instead of the normal Jeans and T-shirt
6) 4 km walk seems too less
7) somebody asks you "so u jog" and you end up answering this question rudely "I am a runner"
8) your Gtalk status talks about running only
9) you've run, showered, and eaten breakfast (twice) before your family/roommates even wake up.
10) you start observing people's running shoes
11) your wishlist has items like Polar HRM, Asics Shoes
12) you have ran to work and found out that its actually faster than you driving to work (atleast in Bangalore)
13) treadmill seems boring
14) people start asking "why do you run", and you answer "why do you ask"
15) your legs are tanned, and you are proud of it
16) you know which tree in your locality gives the best shade :P
17) you brag about losing toenails
18) there are permanent blood stains on your T-shirts where your nipples were rubbed raw
19) you refuse to wash your running shoes because you like to wear the dirt as a badge of honour
20) you go for having a drawer for your running clothes to having an entire bureau for running clothes
21) you can shop at your local running store for hours, but can't stand 5 minutes anywhere else

more to come.....
