So yes, we all know about the quirky things runners do. But if you have been in the running community for a while, you KNOW this other group of runners. The ones who run the crazy distances, the trail races, the races in the mountains etc. This is a very small but interesting group of people! To say the least. Ha. Here are some things, in random order, that ultra runners say.
–I’m just running a marathon to train for this ultra. Because running 26.2 miles is clearly not enough.
–This weekend I will run back to back 25 milers, no big deal.
–Just hydrating for this weekend’s trail race. Let’s go get some craft beers. I need the carbs.
–50k? Oh that is just a few miles more than a marathon. It’s a baby ultra.
–Let’s sign up for a 100 mile race just for fun.
–It’s okay to use the bathroom in the woods. Everybody does that.
–Is that a deer? Snake? Coyote? Oh just keep going…they won’t bother you if you don’t bother them.
What are some other crazy things ultrarunners/runners say?
Haha! These put a smile on my face 🙂
A coyote ? Maybe he’ll help me run faster if he tries to chase me.
Haha!! Oh for sure!
I might run a 50k after running a few more marathons. I can’t wait to say I’m an ultramarathoner. Haha
You can do it, girl!! Happy running!
Had a good laugh at these!
LOL well I am glad!
“Amazing, I’ve only got 6 toenails to worry about now. ” 😉
Haha…the struggle is real!!
Guilty – I’ve told Rick we should run an Ultra, it’s not much farther than a marathon!! But we’ve yet to do it!!
Jodi
HAHA! OMG totally do one!! 50k should feel like nothing to the both of you. Ya’ll race so much! 😉
Right!!!! It’s just another long run!!!
Exactly! Sooner or later after the baby ultra y’all can move on up in the world to 100 milers!! 😉
“No I haven’t painted my toe nails. Purple is their natural color!!” 😀
Yep! Sometimes I even paint over the purple with another purple! Because that is the only color that actually looks good on top of bruised toenails. LOL
Ah smart idea haha 😀
