Running is not for everybody. Me, however, I am one of the many other people who actually enjoy running. Between spending time making playlists, learning the conversion rate of kilos to miles, and trying to explain to people why I put myself through the struggles, it's worth it.
1. Not being able to explain to other people why you like to run.
2. Having a firm position on whether indoor or outdoor running is better.
3. Forcing yourself to eat a banana before running.
4. Forcing yourself to eat really anything before a run because you know you’ll be starving halfway through.
5. Buying ugly running shoes because they’re better than the fashion sneakers.
6. And then falling in love with them after you take a run in them.
7. Then you start wearing them all the time because there just so comfortable.
8. Racerback tan lines.
9. Constructing your hair-washing schedule based on when you’re going to take a run.
10. Knowing the exact distance between two places because you’ve run that route before.
11. Doing an extra five minutes of a run just finish with an even mile.
12. Considering yourself to be part computer because you can perfectly convert miles to kilometers.
13. Accepting the fact that you’ll never have pretty feet.
14. Feeling like you're a body builder from the waist down.
15. Having the best running playlists because that’s half the fun.
16. Believing that you could definitely survive a zombie apocalypse because of your running skills.
17. Owning an outrageous amount of athletic clothes, but knowing that it’s worth it because you go through them so fast.
18. Owning random neon accessories in case you want to night run and not get hit by a car.
19. Not being able to re-wear anything that’s in the same pile as your post-run clothes because the sweat will roam.
20. Not being able to comprehend how people eat so little because you’re literally always hungry.
21. Or how people cut carbs out of their diet.
22. Planning your future dog based on whether it’s a good dog to run with.
23. Having to pee every couple hours because you can’t stop drinking water.
24. Rolling your eyes as you run pass the decent-looking people while you look like you’re fighting off a life-threatening illness.
25. Having to brush off people’s disgust when you tell them that you like to run.
