Top Ten Signs That You're At A Runners' Party

by Tim Scapillato

  1. As you walk up the driveway, you hear a group of people on the front lawn shouting, "You're almost there! You're looking good!"
  2. The house is roped off into various sections. You're asked not to enter a section containing runners who are expected to finish partying before you.
  3. You hear a gunshot and run for cover, then realize that it was only the starter's pistol announcing the official beginning of the party.
  4. At the bar is a group of people shouting, "Jell-O shooters on the right, Margaritas on the left!"
  5. Every so often you hear a heart monitor start to beep. Following this, you hear someone say, "I'm going anaerobic-can we do a slow dance now?"
  6. Several people leave just as things really start buzzing. They explain on the way out that they aren't there for the full party; they're only doing the half.
  7. The host announces that it's time to play a party game, and everyone hits the deck and starts stretching in preparation.
  8. The cute girl that you met at the bar invites you to follow her and says that you won't be disappointed with what she has to show you-and you aren't, when you see that brand new, high-tech treadmill in the exercise room.
  9. The midnight buffet table contains muffins, yogurt, apples and Exceed. The host puts an "X" on the back of your hand with a black magic marker so that you can't sneak back for seconds.
  10. Instead of using the washroom, males go outside to find a shrub or bush, preferably something in the middle of the yard.
