You might be a penguin if...




In the running lexicon, the word "Penguin" has come to mean a person who runs more for the joy of running than for recognition and public rewards.Some mean humour I dug out from the net on penguins :D


* ...you have to politely (for the third time) tell the men in the policecar moving behind you that No you do not wish a ride.
* ...during a race, you keep turning around to see if there is still anybody behind you.
* ...the rest of the pack is out of sight before you've run 100 yards.
* ...you meet both the hare and the tortoise running back towards you doing their cool-down after a race.
* ...you recognize all the regular runners on your favorite route from behind.
* ...you get passed on the uphill by a runner pushing a double baby jog stroller.
* ...you shoot a 24-shot roll of film during a marathon.
* ...you are more worried about the porta-potty lines than the start line.
* ...your support crew talks about meeting you for supper, not lunch.
* ...the truck picking up the cones is pressing on your behind.
* ...the awards ceremony is over before you cross the finish line.
* ...you finish before the blind guy, barely
* ...you finish before the sanitation sweepers
* ...you go to the nearest print shop and have a T-shirt specially made with the following words on the back "Hey, somebody has to finish last" that you wear to all your races
