What kind of Runner are you?

I've been around running long enough to come to the realization that there are many types of runners out there. I've come up with two main categories and they are the Frunner and the Racer.

What's a Frunner? Well thats a fun-runner. Meaning they go out to races to have fun, take in the sights, and cross the finish line. They will run a race on a whim not caring too much about their finishing times because having fun is the main goal. Sometimes the frunner will wear a crazy outfit or even run with a GoPro camera. ;) You will usually see them smiling in race photos, posing with a thumbs up or throwing out a peace sign.



What is a Racer? A racer is the runner that will only sign up for a race if they believe they can get their absolute best time in it. Pictures? If you are a racer, "ain't nobody got time for that".  Sorry photog no smiles or thumbs up for you. Remember in Terminator 2 when t-1000 is chasing after that Conner kid, yah that guy is totally a racer. A racer is also never really happy with their time as they know they could have done better. 



So which runner would I rather be? Well right now I am totally a frunner but I'm always looking to improve my times so I would like to get some of the Racer mentality in me as well. FRACER? LOL Ya always gotta have fun when you're out there.
