When you run 10 miles before work, swim for an hour at lunch, then hit the trainer after work because you have nothing else to do and no one to do it with because the family figures you are probably training anyways.

just thought of another one...

when your boss makes sure an out of town conference wouldn't disrupt your training before he signs you up to go. I love my office!

When your wife tells her friends, "I don't know, let me check his workout schedule to see if we can make dinner that night"

Or

When you come home and sit down she says, "What?  Only one workout today?  Slacker."

.. When you have $ex in the aero position.


  • .. You feel like a lazy a$$ after a 1 hour workout


  • .. You keep hearing, "It smells like a swimming pool in here" , as people pass your desk.


  • .. The treadmill starts crying when it sees you coming


  • .. You have to replace the batteries in your HRM more often than your TV remote

    ...HTFU seems like appropriate and socially acceptable advice to folks *not* involved in sport, regardless of time, place or context...

    At Work
    "Having a problem with the Henderson account? HTFU and get it done, Jenkins!"

    At Home
    "You can't decide what color to reface the kitchen cabinets? For G-d's sake, honey - just HTFU and choose! I'm starting to feel like you don't want this bad enough!"

    With the Kids
    "Afraid of the dark at bedtime? HTFU! Listen - when the lights go out there's only gonna be you and the Boogeyman and you can bet yer a$$ he's training right now!!"

    Yikes, this hits home.  This morning when talking to my coworker about the icy weather I told him to HTFU and get over it.

    ...when after a snowstorm you shovel a path to your cellar entrance before you shovel your sidewalk or dig out you cars, because your bike is in the cellar and you want a clear path to get it out in case the snow melts quickly, and you don't want to miss an opportunity to get a ride in.

    1) When you look forward to a 10 mile run and 3000m tempo swim as an "easy" day

    2) When you automatically wake up at 4am on your off days.......

    Hehe, there are a some dogs on my regular routes that used to bark and now just run along the fences. One has started wagging his tail when I say hi.

    Oh wait ... How about when you start talking to the animals along your regular routes?

    Your son comes downstairs in the morning and asks "Dad, why aren't you riding your bike?"

    Your wife rolls over at 4:30 am on your easy day to find you still in bed and asks "Is everything OK, or did you forget to set the alarm?"

    And along those lines, when you no longer base laundry day on running out of clean underwear, but running out of clean(ish) tri shorts.

    You have more running shoes than girly shoes...


    My husband looked at my "shoe collection" yesterday and commented on that! He also 2 days ago brought up the fact that he went in my purse to get my phone and had to laugh at my emergency gu in there. And then that night I opened my "makeup drawer" and found several workouts printed up in portable sizes for easy access as I get ready in the morning, biofreeze, timing chips and the strap for my mp3 player all on top of the makeup I never wear...

    Oh and one more. On Valentine's day a coworker asked "where are you going tonight?" which I thought was an odd question but responded "out for a bike ride" and she goes "and then where?" and I responded "to a trainer class with the cycling club" at this point she gets annoyed and said "and then where?" and I said "home, to shower and sleep, why?" she then pointed out it was Valentine's day. Not that I ever celebrate that, but she found it amusing I didn't even realize it and had all sorts of workouts planned.

    When the cardio room monitor doesn't even bother reminding you that there is a 30 minute limit anymore!
