I try to raise my kids with the end in mind, meaning that they will be haapy, well adjusted, productive members of society. I think I might be raising some running junkies instead. Here are the tell tale signs.
1. Your kid can tell the difference between a tech tee and a cotton tee.
2. Your kid owns more tech tees than cotton tees.
3. Your kid knows how to use the stick after a race.
4. Your kid knows what a foam roller is for and its not for play.
5. After running around in the yard, they tell you their calves are a little tight.
