Dear Running in the USA,
This post is a way to show my appreciation for your website, an excellent resource for runners nationwide! Thank you!
Also, it is no secret that I am a fan of Twitter. That being said, below is a compilation of tweets from Running in the USA. But it is not just any compilation. No, No, No! In my opinion, these are the…
Top 10 tweets from Running in the USA:
I would rather just not know the IT band existed.
Well said.
I prefer to call it meditation on the go….
Most importantly……
Sincerely,

You might be a runner if…when driving in the car you see someone running and you feel the need to get out there…even though you ran earlier in the day…
Great one. I love it ! So true as well. Seeing another runner when driving always strikes some chord with me… I may be a little envious if I haven’t gotten my run in yet, proud to see another runner, or just get excited to run later.
I love “you know your a runner when” lists!
My favorite here is “You might be a runner if… a good day means more miles on your shoes than your tires.” I’d like to specify tires as motor vehicle tires though! Miles on your bike tires are perfectly acceptable 🙂
very true !
Running Shoes + 500 Miles = Yardwork Shoes = Me.
That is hilarious.
Then you sir….are a runner !
Yes I am.
Totally me as well!
You might you’re a runner if… You get bitten by a dog on your leg 4 days before a race badly enough to go to the ER, don’t leave bed for two days, then feel better and decide to run the race (with doctor’s permission), finish with a good-but-not-great time, and even though it was faster than most of your training runs you get a little peeved thinking how well you would have done without the injury and want to sign up for another race at the same distance ASAP.
OMG…Clearly a runner !!! That sounds crazy (For what it’s worth, you have my respect) 😉 !
Haha, thanks! I was shocked when I realized how mad I was about it – the time, not the bite. No one is shocked about how I feel about the bite. As my best friend who was also ran in the race said, “and THAT is how you become addicted to running.”
oh my! I didn’t actually get bit, but I almost got attacked by a little ankle biter while running the other day! Damn dogs! no wait…its not the dogs fault…damn owner!
Hahaha perfect! I just did a post on what makes a runner and I guess this sums it up pretty nicely!
Just read it. Great post! Glad to see you now consider yourself a runner 🙂

You might be a runner…if you complain about the drivers being in your way, when everything is covered in ice and you are in the middle of a blizzard.
Be encouraged!
My favorite: you might be a runner if you admire, respect, and encourage runners if all shapes, sizes, and abilities. Thats the kind of runner/person I want to be.
Agreed !
I felt inspired by your post and made a similar post of my own on my blog. lol. Don’t worry…I gave you full credit for the inspiration!

hahah. I love it !!
I love the one that says, “You might be a runner if… you respect, admire, and encourage runners of all levels, abilities, shapes and sizes.” This is totally true and only runners understand that. I tried to encourage someone to start running because they wanted to loose weight and let’s just say I had a friendship end over that.
That’s the best one! Serious but true.
Reallly ?!? that sux, sorry to hear that!
It’s all good! Made me a stronger runner and athlete in the long run!
I never felt comfortable calling myself a runner…but I see me in about 3 of these lol
I am fairly certain that makes you a runner 🙂 !
