美國跑超馬的獨特人格

You spend more time in the drug section than the food section of the local market.

到大賣場, 您都不太去逛食品區, 而都耗在運動健康藥品區.

You wonder why they don't make all running socks a dusty brown color.

您搞不清楚為什麼跑步襪都不做成灰土色呢.

You have more dirt on your shoes than in your garden.

您鞋上的塵土要比您院子裡還多.

You think that flagel and ibutrophin belong on the breakfast table.

您認為早餐要有創傷藥和止痛藥. (譯註: 因為已經跑了整夜了!)

(再譯註: 本人在前幾天的步道練習時跌倒, 全身四肢盡是擦傷, 此因為剛跑完 050205 - 普瑞希瑪 50 K (Purisima Creek 50K), 手腳還是酸痛, 無力應變步道上詭譎的地形, 所以, 已經不停地跑到第二天早上了, 創傷藥還是必備的)

You get more phone calls at 5:00 AM than at 5:00 PM.

凌晨五點總是有比下午五點還多的電話找您. (譯註: 去比賽啦!)

一般人晚上聚會，非得搞到十一、十二點才結束，跑者聚會頂多到晚上十點大家就自動解散，因為明天還要晨跑呢！

不知跑完東吳超馬的跑友 (見 招兵買馬跑東吳超馬 與 東吳超馬本會參賽人員) 有無以下的同感? 又五則,

Your feet look better without toenails.

拔掉 (瘀黑的) 趾甲後, 您的腳才讓人看得下去.

Your idea of a fun date is a 30-mile training run.

所謂愉悅的約會, 在您的想法就是來個 30 英里 (譯註: 48K) 的訓練跑.

You're tempted to look for a bush when there's a long line for the public restroom.

碰到公廁前大排長龍時, 您會習慣性地東張西望找樹叢.

You don't think twice about eating food you've picked up off the floor.

對於掉在地上的食物, 您會毫不考慮地把它拿起來吃.

You can expound on the virtues of eating salt.

您能長篇大論地說明有關吃鹽的好處.
