I promise I'll really update someday.

On the other hand, I've been thinking these up on my mid-day runs for a while now. I take my lunch hour and run the Embarcadero and then go home, shower & go back to work. It's a nice break.

You're a runner if...

Your cocktail shaker is most often used for protein shakes.

You judge every song on how easy it would be to run to. (Hint: Bob Seger is uniformly excellent.)

You'll spend more money on your running kit than your work clothes.

Your get excited about how the lead characters run in movies like The Bourne Identity and Casino Royale.

You're a runner in San Francisco if...

They're not tourists, they're obstacles.

"Against The Wind" is always really freakin' appropriate.

A ten percent grade is a mild slope.

The panhandlers & buskers comment on your running style.

You have to fight with the pigeons and seagulls for running space.

Instead of stray dogs, you worry about grumpy sea lions.

You have to dress to combat driving rain and sun & heat. In the same run.

You seriously consider stopping in for a shot of Fernet as you run past your favorite bar. Or any bar. (That last one might be just me, though.)

"Last year, a group of sea lions took over a Newport Beach marina and sunk a vintage 50-foot yacht."

?! Now I have a mental picture of my parents repelling sea lion boarders which is making me laugh like a drain.

Do the sea lions have hats & eyepatches??
