We put a call out to the runners – whether it’s running until your watch hits exactly .00, or being a brunch connoisseur… we wanted to know, what’s your #itsarunnerthing.
Here's to the tweets that make us feel a little less weird, and a little less alone,
1. When you see someone out running but you haven’t gotten your run in yet and you’re filled with run envy. - @oiselle_sally
2. Having 100 pairs of black tights that look almost identical but no, those aren’t the ones I’m looking for... - @AMooreRD
3. Feeling oddly satisfied when that black toenail finally falls off - @dalvarad
4.
- @alijsch
5. Convincing every person you know to start running (I swear, all you need is sneakers, just try it!) So far, my 62 year-old mother and anti-running husband. - @katiebutnot
6. Calling 5AM track workouts your "happy hour." - @imdamnirony
7. Knowing exactly how far it is from your house to the stoplight, gas station, big tree, corner store, big hill, etc. - @RunWineOpine

14. Best part of long runs? Pre-planned post long run loungewear, stretching in the shower and outside showers in the summer. - @pjrunnermom
15. Knowing aaaalllllll the public toilets around your route by memory, including opening/closing times and seasonality... and having a couple favorites! - @dalvarad
16. Shoes for everyday runs, trail runs, long runs, race day, cross training, snowy runs, work days and “dressy” days. – SueZeeEff
17. Running a mile while you’re in labor so you can say you ran the day your son was born. - @katieallenclark
18. When you sacrifice washing your hair for another day of dry shampoo in order to hit your mileage for the day - @ashcantski
