What makes a runner a runner? I was doing my bi-weekly run this morning, it was harder than normal. I was sucking wind at .80 miles. I wasn’t into it and my body seemed to know. I started questioning myself. I thought I was a runner, I can run a 5k in about 30 minutes and I’ve completed a 10k plus Spartan races. So does that make me a runner? In high school, I ran track but was a short distance runner. My longest race was 400m. Does that make me a runner? So how do I answer this question? What I do know is that I changed myself from short distance to long distance, I found a pace I’m comfortable with and I fluctuate between running a mile in 9:30-12 minutes depending on my mood. So I guess I can say that I am a runner, I mean; I run and I enjoy it. However it’s not become an obsession or a way of life yet. I guess when it comes down to an answer, perhaps just the act of getting out of the house and running, even 1 mile; makes you a runner.
