Fitting Remarks: How People Know That You Just Ran The Twin Cities Marathon

Many of you just finished a marathon this weekend. If so, CONGRATULATIONS! You should be very proud.

Even if you don't mention it, I bet people know that you just ran a marathon...they know. 

How, you ask? 

Let me give you a few sure signs that you ran the Twin Cities Marathon this weekend, or any other marathon for that matter!

(On a serious note, you should really be very proud. This post is just for fun!)

• You are taking the stairs backwards. Better yet, you've totally given up on walking. You're taking the elevator. You've strongly considered renting one of those motorized scooters.

• Everything is a celebration! That extra cupcake? I'm celebrating! One more beer? But I'm celebrating!

• You're still hungry all the time. You still want to eat ALL THE THINGS!

• You have a few less toenails. 

• People at work want to see your blood blisters (true story- this happened to my friend! I saw them..they are impressive.)

• You can't stop talking about the marathon...."Oh, you went apple picking this weekend? Well, I ran a marathon. Let me tell you ALL about it!"

• '

• You can't even think about Mountain Berry Blast Powerade without getting queasy.

• You are enjoying leaving work without the need to fit in a run. You actually have time to run errands and cook dinner. Who knew there was a whole world outside of running?

• Yet even though you're enjoying this whole new world, you're already wondering when registration for TCM 2015 opens.

• If not TCM, instead you're spending too much time on www.marathonguide.com looking for your next one. (Here's looking at you Erin!)

• You're looking through the splits on your Garmin and reminiscing about every mile #sofun #ilovemarathoning

• You're getting choked up watching videos like this one (thanks Minneapolis Running for sharing!)

And...the number one way to know that you just ran a marathon...

• You're still wearing your medal. 

*A tip from the Right Fits- medals have a 24 hour grace period- unless this was your first marathon, then we can give you an extension...

Congratulations marathoners!  I hope you are enjoying your well deserved R & R!
