Why I know I am a RUNNER
Sarah tagged me.
I am a runner because...
- The act of running beautiful - the rhythm, the cadence, the dance, the simplicity of forward motion
- Running is my meditation
- It gives me confidence
- I would go crazy if I didn't
- It takes me an hour-and-a-half, at least, to get warmed up
- I plan my vacations around races (even races I don't run!)
- The majority of my friendships revolve around running
- I think about running when I'm at work, at the grocery store, at home, reading a book, while creating art
- The idea of running 30 miles for my 30th birthday energizes me
- I'm tempted to eat gels when I'm hungry
- I drink nunn at work
- I'd rather go shopping for a sports bra than a regular bra (hell, I'd rather wear a sports bra than a regular bra)
- My hiking shoes are my running shoes
- I take my camelback on non-running-related excursions (like going downtown for an art fair)
- I'll get up at 5 am in the dark of winter to get 5 miles in before work - and enjoy every step of the way
- I have more running photos than art photos on my flickr page
- I create RUNNING art!

No wonder we get along so well, Angie. You put into words and pictures exactly why I -- and I suspect a lot of others -- run for fun. Thank you.
