Half Fanatics - soon I will qualify for this club!

Are you addicted to running?
Do your thoughts switch to the next scheduled race immediately after finishing a Half Marathon? guilty
Are you signed up for more than one race right now? guilty
Do you know specifics about many of the Half Marathons? Dates, courses, years run, etc.?
Do you know the story of how the Half Marathon got started?
Do you read books on running like Marathon and Beyond? guilty
Is www.marathonmaniacs.com book marked on your computer?
Do you look at the race schedule more than once a week? guilty
Do you start to feel down when you haven't run a race in a while?
Are your closets and dressers filled with race t-shirts?
When asked about your racing from non running people, do you find yourself talking with great passion to the point that the person that asked the question regrets ever asking?
Have you run races on back to back weekends? Or better yet back to back days?
Have you run a Half Marathon as a training run? Or just to pace a friend? guilty
When asked by loved ones what your plans are for the weekend, you feel guilty telling them your running another half marathon so you tell them "it's only a 10K this weekend"?
Do you plan all your vacations around races? oh dear.... I just hate like heck to say guilty
Well if you answered yes to any of these questions, you just may be a Half Fanatic!!!

I should have guessed that. I admire that Marathon Maniac status you have too and don't even want to think about what those requirements are.
