Running Texting Terms

Many of us runners love to text. For some, it’s a lifeline during a race. For others it’s a way to get picked up on a lonely back country road when you’ve reached mile 18 and can’t go another step (not that I’ve ever been there or anything). Whatever the reason for your texting, we runners need our own terms, don’t you think? Here are just a few I came up with (this is kind of a take off on the texting terms for seniors that I read recently. Hilarious!):

Got any more running texting terms to add?

Do you text during races or long runs? No. Never. I don’t carry a phone during races. During long runs I have it with me for safety reasons and sometimes take pictures, but that’s it.

  8. DNPP desperately need pussy pickup

    I've texted during runs before, pretty much only when my family was coming out to see me and we couldn't find each other.

  11. This is too much to remember, which is why I don't text on the run.

  14. Not co-ordinated enough to text and run but if I could "GD" would be a great warning text that I am coming home in a crappy mood!

  17. Excellent point. And it’s probably the one most of us need to see/use the most.

  18. You mentioned camel toe, but what about SEVERE wedges? I was in a 1/2 last month and we were only a minute or two into the race and in front of me there were two ladies with major wedgies. There were a few ladies next to me and one looked at the other and said, "well, that's unfortunate" LMAO.

  19. I just spit my tea out all over my laptop. thanks.

    and yeah, i need to share this with my boyfriend who obsessively texts me if i don't return home when i say i will. i sometimes go longer than planned ... because i run longer, or because i had to stop to poop.

    1. Also, i bring my phone for safety (thanks to you!) and I don't text unless I stop for a long period of time. honestly, i'm more apt to hop on instagram and show off the beautiful scenery.

  20. I've only texted once during a race & that was the 2009 Boston Marathon. I sent "24" to my sister, who was waiting at the finish line, so she would know I was at mile 24 and to expect me 15ish minutes.

  21. These. Are. Awesome!! I get annoyed when I get a text while running. Hate to stop to read it. I have answered a couple calls though. I can still run when that happens.

  22. You guys are amazing. I can barely cope with texting when I'm safely seated in a comfortable chair. Walking around a familiar environment (like the house) is right on the edge of my cognative abilities. I cannot comprehend being able to read or write a text while running at any speed. At least not without requiring an ambulance quickly afterward. Maybe this is the first sign of becoming a geezer.

  23. These are hilarious! I never text while running, although I do text after I finish a race. This year, after completing my first ultra, I texted to my two best friends (who are both runners): hey bitches, I just ran fifty miles and didn't even shit my pants! I guess I could have just texted: HB,IJRFMADESMP!

  24. Lost Another Toenail haha! My running buddy and i have that exact discussion on a regular basis. We should prob buy better shoes...

    I don't text while running. I'd end up flat on my face if I did! I do carry my phone for safety & mile tracking but it stays strapped to my arm.

  25. This made me laugh out loud! Love it! I never text or use my phone during races. Only before and after.
