This was inspired when my response to walking out of my office door today seeing that the glaring sunlight had been replaced by high cloud and a breeze was to think how nice that would be to run in at lunch time while my colleagues were complaining about the absence of sunshine.

This is not intended to be serious and will contain a lot of jokes only the saddest of fitness freaks will understand. Genuine accounts are good, totally made up just as good.

1) Looking at a pensioner struggling to walk knowing that's how you look after a legs day.

2) Debating whether it's worth getting the jack out of the boot or you should just lift the car when you have a puncture.

3) You start looking at food as fuel rather than tasty.

4) You wake up without aches and wonder what has gone wrong.

5) You assess the weather on how suitable it is for your training.

7) After a day of manual work you know which muscle groups got a good workout.

8) You don't mind people your own gender checking out your glutes.

Please add to the list. It will be interesting to see more.
 
9) Thinking the fact something only aches a bit means time to train it again.

10) Choosing gym clothing based on suitability for training rather than being flattering
 
11) You do a full lap of honour after a marathon.

12) You stop using the bus because you can run to work faster.

13) You actually want someone to have broken down near you so you can demonstrate how easily you can push it for them.

14) You don't bother emptying drawers or wardrobes before lifting them for moving.

15) You compare the weights of things you see to your various workout weights.

16) Your concern on becoming ill is impact on training rather than health.
