Person: Well, I told so-and-so you haven’t been running lately because your feet hurt.
Me: You told them I’m still exercising, right?
Me: Did you tell them I was injured or did you just say my ‘feet hurt’?!

Despite their words being true, I immediately became defensive.
Then I realized I was just worried about what people thought of me.
It took me a long time to identify as a runner, and those self-conscious doubts are bubbling up while I’m not running.
I don’t know how the next two training months and November marathon are going to play out, but I need to embrace the facts that I am a runner for life, a race is just a fun event, and nobody is doubting my runner status but me.
Right here is the right blog for everyone who really wants to understand this topic. You understand so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I really would want to…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject that has been discussed for many years. Great stuff, just great.
