- You get really, insanely bored during a taper week. After a disappointing race time your friends and co-workers try to comfort you by reassuring that you should still be happy - this has little effect. You can talk about bowel movements and chafing without cracking a smile. You always schedule summer vacations in June to ensure minimal impact to Fall race training schedules. Races and training competes with important family events...and wins Improving your marathon PR by even just a few minutes makes you feel like a champion! You want to lose weight to become more efficient in long races, even though you are already skinny. Co-workers refer to you as "manorexic" when you count calories. Most people can't comprehend how you could incorporate a race or training run into your vacation, but it makes perfect sense to you. You sit in a bathtub of ice-water. You thrive off of pain!
