Top 10 Signs You're Obsessive-Compulsive About RunningBy Tim Scapillato10 You put your timing chip on your right foot and then realize that you always cross the finish line with your left foot. 9 You use Google Maps to measure the exact distance that you covered while mowing your lawn, and then record it under "junk miles, easy run." 8 When someone tells you that there are some people who do activities other than running on Sunday mornings, you look perplexed, then reply, "Yeah, right!" 7 You don't think there's anything unusual about having three kids named Haile, Meb and Khalid. Yes, even though they're all girls. 6 At a wedding ceremony, you find yourself concentrating on your Ironman Triathlon watch, timing the bridal party's procession down the aisle. 5 The wedding ceremony in question is your daughter's, and while you don't want the marriage to fail, you think she could do the bridal march faster next time if she just did some speed work. Go Meb, go! 4 At business meetings, you find yourself keeping split times instead of minutes: "Nice proposal, Jenkins—and thirty seconds faster than last time!" 3 You have a pacemaker installed, bel-ieving that it will help you run more consistently...and it does, provided you stay away from the microwave. 2 When you hear through the grapevine that your spouse has been running around with someone else, the first question that comes to your mind is, "At what pace?" 1 You like ALL your food runny. |
