Running buddy Shumit has a post here about the criterion for "running problem". Here are mine, for an entry into the club!!
- Wake up at 4:15 AM every Sunday morning.
- You look out specifically for runners' blogs
- You think the only shoe worth buying for you is a running shoe
- Drag a pal along to hunt for "The Complete Book of Running" by James Fixx all evening and night on the streets of London. [ This is after a long hunt in Chennai and repeated phone calls to the big book stores]
- You buy choclate bars, only to have them before the early morning run
- Download podcasts to listen to during the runs
- The first thing you pack in your travel bag is the running shoe
- You pull all your pals into running every week
- Most of the e-mails in your inbox are about running
- You stopped drinking on saturday nights because of the sunday morning runs
- You think the "highest high" is listening to "High Hopes" by Pink Floyd after you hit the 1 hour mark, running
- Wake up at 5:30 AM on a Sunday morning and feel miserable, since the run started at 4:50 am.
- You think a heart rate monitor is one of the coolest gadgets!
- You think running is a life changing experience

You can take the book "the complete book of running". I have it. Stop searching for it
Actually tag all your pals to see how many have the same symptoms ;)
Hopefully after the successful trainings and a few runs I will say the same:-)
