Are you ...Are you a boxer if you box once and quit? Are you a golfer if you do the same? How about a driver, if you drive a car once and the quit are you still a driver? No. But, if you continue to do these, no matter how "good" you are, you are. <br /><br />Same for running, if you go out and run once and decide this gig is not for you, then you are NOT a runner. However, if you run on a consistent basis then you are a runner. No matter how fast or slow, no matter if you have raced or not <br />(but then would you not also be a racer?). <br /><br />So, to be a runner in short and sweet terms requires one to run on a consistent basis, no certain miles per week, just run consistently each week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-206180577661204102.post-89336861636272176412009-09-29T22:16:26.059-07:002009-09-29T22:16:26.059-07:00You're a runner when you enjoy it.
