10 Feelings All Runners Have Experienced At Least Once

138shares

Why is it that when you’re in a bad mood, people love to tell you to smile?! Something about that makes me angry and prone to punching, but that my friends is also why I run.

Therapy.

During a run last week, I felt myself going through the gamut of feelings and it dawned on me that some of you could probably relate. And because what’s better for starting your day than some GIFs to bring it all to life.10 Feelings Every Runner Has Experienced at least once - a hiliarious look at our running lives

10 Feelings All Runners Have

Maybe you haven’t had all of these yet…to which I say, keep running it will happen.

1) Blah, blah, boredom when inactive friends tell you running ruined their knees, hip, back, insert ridiculous body part.2) Convinced of a conspiracy after getting back race photos. Do photographers only snap when I’m walking?3) Despair when you realize that liar who said you were almost done wasn’t even standing at the half way point. Followed by murderous rage.4) Smug superiority when posting your early morning run in the dark and the cold before your friends even crawled out of bed. Cause that’s how we roll.5) Entirely out of shape climbing a set of stairs, even if you did run 10 miles over the weekend.Hilarious but true runner feelings6) Complete annoyance when someone complains about their slow pace and it’s better than your 100 meter sprint.7) Confusion mixed with “how awesome, I hope that’s me someday” when being passed by someone 40 years older, with a double jogger stroller or whose not even in the race.

8) Jubilation at winning a race lottery, who needs those million dollar tickets.9) Pride at a running shoe collection to match every outfit, it isn’t hoarding, it’s practical.A girl needs plenty of running shoes and other funny running thoughts

10) Ravenous hunger. While running, after running, before running…it has something to do with dreaming about food for hours during training.

What are some that I missed?

    Refusal to remove shoes/get a pedicure/wear sandals in social situation due to my lack of toenails and callused feet. Should I just get my toenails removed?! Hahaha

    Love #4! Even if I don’t tell another soul, it makes me feel “badass” to run while most others are in bed or in the gym. Bunch of wanna-be’s….

    Haha! I love it, this had me laughing. I can relate to many even if I haven’t run much lately. I inserted my husband into many and laughed even more, especially #4 now with me taking barre after dropping the girls off at school.

    HaHa! Love these! I can relate to nearly all of them (especially the stairs – what is it about stairs that makes me feel like I have never exercised a day in my life???)
