You Know You're a Runner in Binghamton if...

We asked and you answered.  You know you're a runner in Binghamton if...

• You think a spiedie is a nickname for a local running club. 
• You consider a course with rolling hills as an easy day run.
• You've raced in Otsinango Park 500 times.
• When someone mentions Riverside Drive, all you think about is that stupid hill by the CVS.
• You're supported by the crowd whether you're the first or last in your age group.
• You've heard the local running lore of the nearly mythical "King of the Hill" race, or you've run that race yourself.
• You talk about watching the Chris Thater Memorial Races 5k so you can watch the Kenyans run by.
• TCRC is your middle name.

• You know every inch of the rail trail and got excited when they finally opened the new extension.
• You have a love-hate relationship with the January Freeze Series.
• You forget to put on sunscreen before a run because you're just not used to that being needed very often.
• You're extremely familiar with techniques for stepping over potholes or jumping over uneven sidewalks, but have probably managed to twist an ankle once or twice (or more).
• You've had to listen to Mike Cordi talk about his M-E cross country team. 
• Everyone at Confluence Running knows you by name & vice versa...or when your grandma goes shopping there & you know exactly who helped her.
