Am I a runner??

I always hear people say the same thing...I'll be runner when...

Its followed by the likes of:
-I run a marathon
-I run every day
-I've been running for a decade
-I break the 30 mile per week mark
-I run even on vacation
-I break this time or that time

Lets face it we all are a little proud to say we run...atleast I am! I am proud to say I drag my butt out of bed at 4:35 am to meet one of the most fantastic group of running friends a girl could want. I quietly tell stories at parties of this run or that run. I brag (to my husband and kids only) that I ran 7 miles this morning and its a thursday. Though never having braved the whole 26.2, I am PROUD to call myself a runner.


As we all should be...I think this quote by John Bingham sums it up best

"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is the first day or if you've been running twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run."

So get out there and run today...2 miles or 20...just ENJOY every minute of it!
