I think I considered myself a runner when I completed my first 10k and posed with my medal proudly around my neck. It felt like an initiation into a club that is enormous and wildly accepting. (At least that’s the vibe in the running community where I live)

Conversations at work usually go like this

“Hey - you’re a Runner, right?” someone will ask me

“I’ve been accused of that” I reply, with 'here we go again,' implied

“Can you coach me to do a 5K?”

“I’m the last person you should ask”

“You run a lot, don’t you?*”

“Yeah, but I’m weird. Running is weird. I would avoid it if I were you”
