You know you are a TNT distance athlete if...

• You forget the dates of birthdays and anniversaries, but never the date of your first race.
• You have to make a serious effort to talk about something else other than training with your non-active friends.
• The back of your car looks like a locker room.
• You smirk on the inside when a non-endurance athlete asks how many miles are in a marathon or half marathon.
• The art in your house is the free Nike posters that you get from the local sports store.
• Your family groans as once again they find themselves in the car measuring how far you trained this morning.
• Your dog hides when you get the leash.
• Olive Garden is where you hang out.
• You are constantly washing training clothes, but you have to go through the pile of clothes on the floor to find something to go to work in.
• Your weekly training mileage is higher than your weekly driving mileage.
• You own your car but make payments on your bike.
• You can only get major projects done at home during taper weeks.
• You have a $4000 bike strapped to your $2000 car.
• You have trouble keeping lunch under 2000 calories.
• You think nothing of walking into public places dressed in tights like a super hero.
