What is the limit?

I always say I'm not really a runner. Sure, I do a little jogging now and then, since exercise is good for you and all. But it's not really my sport. I'm a cyclist, after all. So, sure, I'll strap a GPS to my wrist to keep track of distance and speed and heart rate and I'll enter the data into a spreadsheet and maybe I'll dress up like a colorblind superhero and run 10km in the rain on a Saturday morning, but, still, it's not like I'm really into it. I'm not one of those runners.

But then I realized that my last little run was just 6km short of a half marathon, which means I could do a half marathon for sure, no problem. Now, I know for sure that if you run a full marathon, you can't really say that you're not a runner, and you're just not really that into running. But a half marathon? Can you run a half marathon just for the hell of it and still claim to not really be into running?

You're a runner. Deal with it! *g*

I think more than the distance the key indicator is the 10km in the rain on a cold Saturday morning. That indicates...something...
