I saw this on Facebook last night and got a good laugh:
Yeah, just a little true… 
I guess running becomes part of the everyday fabric of our lives and you really don’t realize the shift. Until you see something like this and you realize, it does look like a runner lives here. You mean it’s not normal to have your cupboards filled with gels, bars and drink powders? Two pairs of running shoes at the door is not normal? Well then…
In your house, what defines you as a runner?

Bawhaha! so true! I have Aquaphor hand prints all over my Sports bra draw and a entire draw devoted to Nuun.
A drawer just for Nuun?! I'm so jealous!
That is awesome!!! My house has "runner" written all over it!. I have running shoes old & new everywhere. Race pictures and medals proudly displayed, a treadmill, spin bike & free weights, baskets of race t-shirts…the list goes on. My poor husband, lol.
Haha I never considered putting race t-shirts in baskets… better than drawers! Good idea!
Haha so perfect! My house screams runner and cyclist. Theres running shoes, cycling shoes, gels, tech clothing and tons of bike stuff. (Currently 5 bikes at my house lol and an indoor trainer and treadmill!) love having an active household
That is so funny! I think the amount of chocolate milk I buy for an adult with no children gives me away. Whoever decided refueling with a chocolate drink was a good idea rocks.
Omg yes! Good point!
I have a clothes rail entirely dedicated to various running garments from race finisher t-shirts to compression tights. I have a pair of old running shoes at the back door, my current pair at the front door and two other pairs sitting underneath said clothes rail! I have a shelf in a kitchen cupboard dedicated to gels, powders and various hydration bottles too! Oh, and my race medals are clearly visible for all to see as well
Ha love it!! You definitely have a runner's house
That's awesome! Yes to the crazy amount of sneakers and the workout clothes taking over the laundry. I think we do an okay job of keeping our living room in tact.
But if someone looked closely, they could find the stick and foam roller tucked away between and behind couches!
Lol too funny!
hahaha this so so funny! My house is definitely not a runners house haha only i run but it would be cool if my house looked like this! (:

Hahah I know! Funny!
So funny! We definitely have all of those in our house, plus the running schedule is posted in the kitchen and there are runner car magnets on the cars!
Hahah definitely the running schedule should have been added, lol!
Oh man, this is so true! Running sneakers are all over, Gu and peanut butter stocked in the pantry, a foam roller right in the dining room… the list goes on and on
Hahah I know right — lol!
Tons of running clothes that makes up the bulk of your warderobe and laundry pile, tons of peanut butter, and Runners world magazines everywhere, and running shoes for every kind of workout.
Yes peanut butter!! Hahah!
When you come in the front door 3-4 pair of running shoes, right there and if you come in the back door, another older pair of running shoes
.
We have our medals on display in the living room, a pantry full of peanut butter, Gu, and SportsBeans, a freezer full of waffles, running clothes all over the place, and a foam roller/yoga mats in front of the TV. It's a little insane. I would also have said the stock pile of old running shoes in the closet, but those managed to get donated at a race last month!
I have a few pairs of shoes by the door but most of my stuff is stuffed into a huge gym bag in my bedroom and my bureau. My house looks like it belongs to a runner when my neighbors see me leaving the house at 6AM on a Sunday morning, in running shorts and its 50 degrees out.
