A runner?

I have been running fairly consistently for 2 years now.  I'm still shocked that me, the lazy, unathletic, sweat hating girl ever started this hobby.  Here's the thing about it though, I still have trouble identifying myself as a runner.  I always feel it is necessary to explain that I'm very slow, or that I my longest run was only 6 miles.  But you know what I've come to realize?  It truly doesn't matter.  Even if I am slow, and I haven't run any distances further than 6 miles, I'm still a runner.  It's what I do.
