running before the catch

Acting as if something good will definitely happen, without it happening yet, and then paying for such optimism.

Derived from football, where the wide receiver starts thinking about what he is going to do AFTER the catch, before the ball gets to him. Inevitably the wide receiver drops the ball.
I swore I was going to get an offer from that company I have been interviewing with, so I haven't done any work in days. The job fell through. I was running before the catch.

running down wind

When you seem to be making the right decisions based on the moment but all the results are running 'down wind' from other people spoiling the outcome.

An animal in the forest wants to be 'downwind' of its hunter so the hunter doesn't get a sniff of the prey.
All upwind are 'seen' by those downwind as the wind blows away from them.
"I went and spoke to an advisor about a superannuation investment but when I saved and deposited the amount-the savings went running down wind with the market collapse"

"I follow coaches advice and play wide reciver for the final play but the opposition always pre-interprets the play making me feel like I'm constantly running down wind"!

running full-out

To run like Britney Spears (presumably when she was attractive) while being Neil Peart.
Oh my god! He runs faster than Britney Spears! And she was running full-out!” - Originally uttered by an anonymous elderly female security worker for a Rush concert. This version of the quote is the one told by Mr. Neil Peart during an interview after some show, or something.

running on christmas spirit

To drive with the gas light on for such a terrifyingly long amount of time you must be running on the pure belief of children. A reference to the movie Elf.
Person #1: "Dude, you need to stop for gas. You've been running on christmas spirit for almost an hour."

Person #2: "Nah, we're good. You just have to believe as the children do."

Person #1: "whatever, man."
