I think it is a love or hate relationship.

I was a "new runner," or something not quite there yet. But now I realize that no matter how much I enjoy or don't enjoy it, no matter how far I go or don't, as long as I do it, and I CHOOSE to do it, I'm a runner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450866457385584358.post-24487480812416073372012-08-10T11:03:08.795-04:002012-08-10T11:03:08.795-04:00Great post, love reading these!

I don't know. I think it was when I started running on a regular basis in Central Park and felt a communion with the other runners, started seeing the same runners out at the same time, and getting the "nod" from other runners. That made me feel like I made it as a runner.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791338684143423577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450866457385584358.post-22057676423852247502012-08-10T08:06:13.677-04:002012-08-10T08:06:13.677-04:00This was a great post.
