Yes, I relate to them all except 1  - although once a long time ago I did 98.5 miles on my bike and went for ride around Detford to make it to a hundred. Having run with Watershed when younger I remember the idea that you underestimate in training to get a positive surprise when racing. I always seemed to be disappointed in both however. Less bothered about measuring nowadays - some recompense for being in my mid-60s I guess.

When your day/week is planned around your walks, and walking is the main activity for the week.

You look lovingly at your boots , every time you see them , all shiny and waxed up ready for yet another walk .  :o
A night under silnylon. Doesn't have the same ring to it.

I know I'm a walker because every time I look at the Independent on-line they bombard me with hiking and camping product adverts!

and I know I'm a walker because I also 'talk' to sheep. They baa at me so I baa back!

Oh dear.  I talk to the sheep, the ponies, fluffy coos, foxes and any thing else that will listen. Still, at least I no longer talk to seals, dolphins or basking sharks.  ;)

..when you slip on some wet rocks, and are more worried about the slash in your overtrousers than the gash in your knee!


Edit - maybe this post would be better off in the "You know you're tight fisted when..." thread  :D

......when you wake up at 2.30am to go to the bathroom, go back to bed, can't sleep so get dressed and go for a three mile walk. As I did last night.  ;D

Small, excited children often speak dolphin.
I blame Hollywood.

It is OK to talk to sheep though they are not great conversationalists, but look out for cows - they talk about you behind your back after you have gone.
