I've Got That Runner Feeling

Not me...but one can dream!

In the last few weeks, as my one year “Runniversary” approaches, I keep having these moments where I’m starting to feel like a runner. 

I have, almost, every piece of fun runners’ gear that I could hope for.

I run in shorts – me in shorts, in public!

I no longer assume every running ache and pain is going to end in surgery.

I have a fancy watch that allows me to time individual miles.

I recognize shoes brands by the logo without thinking about it.

I look at my schedule and immediately start figuring out how I’m going to get all my runs in.

I have taken my first ice bath.

I can do long runs and Spin classes – not on the same day – and live to tell the tale.

Sure, I still don’t have times to qualify for Boston and I don’t ever expect to be in the top three of my division, but I am starting to feel like a runner.  I still have lots of hills to conquer – like hill and speed work – but for now I feel good that I get out there and put one foot in front of another!

A Real Runner?

There a few things I know that I will probably never achieve as a runner and that's fine.  I don't expect to ever win a race or be considered an elite athlete, and I'm not even sure I could qualify for Boston without my own coach, but there's something I keep asking myself - when will I have accomplished enough to feel like a real  runner? I'm doing my work and making progress, but I still see all these other girls that I look at and see a real runner and I wonder will I ever look at myself that way?  I don't know what it is about them that seems so quintessentially runner, but there's something about them that I feel like I'm missing.  And I keep wondering at what point will I hit some milestone when I feel like "yeah, I really consider myself a Runner!" or will I ever really feel that way?  I even try to suss it out sometimes and try to give it concrete parameters.  I think that once I run a half marathon - which is fast approaching - or the marathon; or run in those little short shorts and a sports bra; or can run and feel like I'm doing it right then I will feel like a runner. In the scheme of things it doesn't really matter.  I'm out there running, aching, competing and loving it, so what if I never feel like a real runner.  I'm running - putting one foot in front of another - and in the end I'm pretty sure that is the definition of a runner.
