You might be a runner if you have a singlet, some quick-dry shorts, and a decent pair of kicks. You can wake up and run 5, 10, even 12 miles before dawn without even thinking about it. On the other hand, you might be a middle-aged wanna-be runner training for his first marathon if you have the outfit PLUS: heart rate monitor, GPS watch, belt with pouch and 4 Gatorade bottles, protein and carbohydrate gels in said pouch, Emergency Contact Toe Tag affixed to shoe string, MP3 player with headphones tuned in to Public Radio, Yurbuds arm holster for the radio (2d emergency contact tag in the armband), bandanna to cover the top of your head and keep the sweat out of your eyes, a freezer full of zip lock bags of ice for your knees, moleskin for your bunion, that wrap-around belly burner thing, anti-chafing body glide stuff for your tender nips, apps like Endomondo and Charity Miles, a large box of Epsom salt under the sink in your bathroom, Weider wrist weights (for that full-body workout), neoprene patella support straps, prescription strength Glucosamine, mild feelings of fear and dread about running 14 miles this coming Saturday, and a training and fundraising website that makes it all seem worthwhile: pages.teamintraining.org/nca/corps13/FoamFan
