What's the nastiest thing anyone has said about your running? (Read 1566 times)

Runner: what do they make you do do at your practice when you guys screw up? Football player: we have to run. Runner: Do you think when we screw up the coach says "ok guys go out and play some football"?

My husband tells me that I love running more than him, although I try my hardest to run when he's either sleeping or working. I think he's just jealous

I started running a year ago. I am slow. I have worked up to 10-ish minute miles, and 9.5 miles is my longest run. My DH started running several weeks ago. He does the same 2.8 mile route every time. And every time tries to beat his time before. (Stupid, I know, I try to tell him, but ) I ran with him the other day for HIS newbie-running moral support. He said, "If I ran this slow, I could run 9.5 miles, too."

lol. I think most people tried that running plan at some point. I was trying to do 5K as fast as I could 3-4 times a week. Didn't last long. Tell him to come with you for 10 miles at that pace if he thinks that.

I stopped in my local quickmart to get gum while out on a run - this guy about 5ft 9in 350lbs (who I've seen 'hanging out there before' <odd> said "ever heard of eating?" ... and I almost said "have you heard about the obesity problem in America?" but instead I just said something like "don't worry about me - I eat" I didn't want to get his adipose attitude - he probably would've followed me in his car & started throwing donuts or suzie Q's at me. </odd>
