I guess I really am a runner

I haven't ever called myself a runner.  I don't look like a runner. I don't run like a runner. I don't train like a runner.  If the word jogger didn't make me think of 80's running suits, I might use that term, but instead when describing my involvement in the sport I say "I run."  I have described my miles as an action verb, not a definition of who I am.  That's fairly common for many half marathon runners, I think.  In fact all it takes is one day at a running event to realize that anyone (and I do mean anyone) can run a half marathon.  It's the kind of thing that is on many people's bucket list.  But I don't think anyone has "Run two half marathons" on their bucket list.  Many people run a half to cross it off the list.  I did in 2009.  In 2010 I ran a second.  Now it can define me.  I am a runner.
