I think that's part of why I say that I really am not a "runner", if being one entails training for and doing events. Maybe I should say I am a "fitness jogger". I only started last February, and once it got too warm for me to run outside (about May here in humid NC), I stuck with treadmilling at the gym. Even though I haven't done a cycling event in several years, I still consider myself a cyclist, but not a runner. If I ever do a running event, then I guess I'll probably feel like a real runner, but for now, I run to burn calories and for heart and bone health, not to do events. Just a slightly different focus.
