Rossco Runner

Well hello there, my name is ross, but i prefer getting called rossco. I go to st thomas more college which im not particularly fond of. I think theres more to life than getting qualifications, then getting a job and doing the same thing for the rest of your life. My true passion in life is running. If you dont know much about runners heres a few things:

our calves our bigger than our biceps
we combine phrases like "10 mile run" and "Easy Run" in the same breath
we finish a hard track workout with a killer headache, feeling sick and you say "that was great"
A car honk makes our middle finger rise into the air by reflex
when a non-runner asks you if you "jog" you have to fight the urge to punch them in the face
For us Chafing is a serious medical condition
the first question anybody asks you once they find out you are a runner is "have you ever run the marathon?" even if you explain that you are a miler or 5k runner - then they immediately lose interest in the conversation
we stay up 3 hrs past your normal bedtime to catch a 3 minute race
when it comes to figuring out lap times and pace, we are a regular Rain Man... "Ah, sixty sevens, ah, yeah, that's sixty seven pace, ah, yeah, sixty sevens, definitely sixty sevens."
if you been introduced to another "serious runner" and after a two minute background check (best event, PR, date and race where PR was set) you know if they are legit, or full of shit, because you are a walking database of running statistics.
If i havnt rambled on enough then i also think you have to seize each day because you never know whats round the corner.
Take it easy
