Do I even deserve to be called a runner?

Even though I read the books, subscribe to the magazine and visit all the blogs, and even get out there and do my 12 minute mile pace, it feels like I'm an imposter when I say I like to "run" or I am going for a "run". Like I should be saying that I'm going jogging instead. Even Runkeeper feels like something to be used by the cheetah runners, and not certainly by me. I think I'm in a speed funk. I don't want to push too hard when I'm THISCLOSE to finishing C25K V2.0, so I keep at a pace I know that I can hold vs. pushing even harder and not reaching my goal. One more week of C25K and then speedwork is my next goal. I want to have a 10 minute mile pace again.
