I try to not even talk about running with anyone for just that reason. If someone asks, we'll chat, but otherwise I keep it to myself.Rusty Shacklefordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866085953233253500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-80548168509529358722011-12-16T18:38:48.209-05:002011-12-16T18:38:48.209-05:00Luckily for me, I also have a coworker who is a ru...Luckily for me, I also have a coworker who is a runner. We get together and it's an all out running talk fest!<br />Yeah I hear all the excuses from non-runners too. I forget that they just dont understand us crazy people.... :)Josehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829768985992040896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-20839181973848751352011-12-16T15:40:16.859-05:002011-12-16T15:40:16.859-05:00I totally think that guy is just looking for atten...I totally think that guy is just looking for attention.The Green Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319714826599995511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-7326310395204903272011-12-16T11:56:22.397-05:002011-12-16T11:56:22.397-05:00I always wondered if it was because we make them f...I always wondered if it was because we make them feel guilty, as we are exercising and they know they should be.

Well run, with lots of bands, food, and schwag. Of course the VB race is much, much smaller. I actually posted a review of my blog. It was one of my faves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01569950702355094761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-8409136395305897592011-12-16T10:55:47.175-05:002011-12-16T10:55:47.175-05:00I still think you're crazy!I still think you're crazy!TNTcoach Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022683408145528060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-6106789221998334592011-12-16T09:58:00.103-05:002011-12-16T09:58:00.103-05:00I wonder if I know your coworker....It is always f...I wonder if I know your coworker....It is always fun to have people who understand you that work with you.<br /><br />I am really glad I didn't go to Vegas too. Night races are hard. Disney has their wine and dine race, it would be interesting to see how the experiences differ. I have done the T-rex series at night at Island lake. Granted, the recovery from a tri is a lot easier than a half marathon or full marathon, but I have only been really sick once, and that was due to heat/improper timing of nutrition.Melissa Chttp://www.doublejoggerdiaries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-59517564932050900922011-12-16T09:11:26.165-05:002011-12-16T09:11:26.165-05:00I get the same reactions!

"I can't run, my knees are bad" or (and I love this one…) "I hate running".<br /><br />First, my knees hurt when I was 236 pounds - not because my knees were bad but because I had too much weight on them! I started slow and dontcha know, running solved my knee pain!!<br /><br />I love the "I hate running" I didn't like it at first either - who does? It's hard. But you keep showing up and one day you find yourself not hating it, then almost liking it and on some days… downright loving it.<br /><br />I kinda want to do a tri someday too. Lack of a bike and access to a pool holds me back for now - and I can't afford to remedy either limitation.<br /><br />Sorry for the book of a comment. lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06682010895114305173noreply@blogger.com
