You know your a penntrack addict if ....

Inspired by the facebook group: "You know you run cross country if ..." and also my life.

1. Your home page is penntrackxc.com
2. You've attended the state meet four times ... and raced there zero :(
3. You talk about shoes constantly ... so much that your girlfriend is just embarassed ...
4. Just kidding you don't have a girlfriend your obsessed with penntrack ....
5. You have a watch tan line ...
6. Even though most people can't tell because you only leave the house to run and then you come home on go on penntrack all day
7. You know who Bob Gasior, Tim Shea, and Nick Burkwitt are ...
8. You think anyone who doesn't know who Bob Gasior, Tim Shea, and Nick Burkwitt are is a total noob.
9. You use the word noob.
10. You never actually talk to your best friends besides through facebook chat ... while simultaneously searching penntrack ...
11. You despise the phrase "Didn't he win states in something?" Because it should be obvious to anyone who is anyone in the track world who has won states in everything. Please good sir.
12. You have a HUGE picture of Steve Prefontaine in your room.
13. You have a HUGER picture of etrain in your room :)
14. You have a HUGEST picture of Don Rich in your room
15. You think the gym class mile is silly and pointless ....
16. Because you have no reasonable shot to PR!!! How are you supposed to run fast in a gym uniform with no competition!!
17. You don't use school time for class notes, but instead you use it for calculating proper splits for PRing ...
18. Predicting results of certain races ...
19. Creating a ranking system for the top 50 XC runners in the state ...
20. And/or creating a virtual meet using project times based on actual times you researched during one of those times you could have been having social life and/or doing your calculus homework.
21. You have slapped multiple people for telling you "its just a second, how much difference does it make?" Because now you have to adjust your entire ranking system and move Sean Mallon down the list and reconvert the mile time to 1600!
22. You can recognize the fact that someone else is a runner simply by their shoes and clothing ....
23. And the fact that you've stalked the man for about a year, so when you run into Stephen Welsh at a random pizza place you can tell your friends who it is and they totally won't judge you or anything. Right?
24. Unfortunately all your friends do judge you and thus your only friends are Jake Portock, Josh Rinker, and Jim Dillner.
25. You have a box you read to each night before you tuck it into bed. It is currently sitting in a glass case to avoid unfortunate drops of drool from falling upon it ... again ... because you just get lost staring at the Oregon DMRs signature ....... o gosh thank gooodness the glass box was there
26. Most normal people would stop the list at 25, a nice even logical number but you extend the list for some unknown reason ....
26.2--> Oh. Ok, now that makes sense ....
