New cars are good, too! What did you get?

PS- it’s never too late to lace up and head back out there……….

Heh. I think you should write up a list! I am very interested to see the video of the thumb stretching………

This is just too scary for me. I used to run a lot, but now I’m going to buy a newer car instead…

OH! The long drives= how many long runs is too funny! Where I live, we count the wind as hills. I like body glide better in general because of less mess on clothes and it lasts longer, particularly for races where there’s nowhere to change and lube up right before. And YES to the running budget!

I think I may have a few more to add………..

I love my Garmin and yes, it most certainly did cost more than the device I have in my car I know I should own stock in Vaseline and prefer it to Body Glide; I have a love/hate relationship with gels, I hate most of them but I keep trying them and sometimes I’m pleasantly surprised. I’ve only lost 1 toenail so far, but another one is black so I’m sure its a goner soon. It is a badge of honor ; I could shop for shoes/running gear at any moment of any day because you just never know. . . my computer is over flowing with spreadsheets and the head games I play with myself keep me running! Love it!

Here are some of mine:

*If Ibuprofen is your recreational drug of choice.
*On long drives you gauge how far you still have to go by how many “long runs” it would be.
*Every hill you drive up (especially if its not in your neighborhood) you consider a potential “hill workout”
*There is a line in your budget for “race entries” as well as “running stuff”
*You know what an illiotibial band is and where it is located
*You know where exactly one mile is from your front door in ANY direction
