It was a big deal to me!<br />But what got me was, the next day a facebook friend posted to her page that I had inspired her to run 1,000 miles in 2014. When someone asked her about it she replied:<br />"Oh, it's really not that bad. Just 2.75 miles a day!"<br />I felt myself burning with - I don't know - embarrassment... rage???<br />"only 2.75 miles a day" - but what happens if you can't run every day? What happens when you get the flu and are out a week? What happens when you twist your ankle and are out a month? What happens if it is storming outside? Or 95 degrees? Or your kids are sick?<br />Can you tell this spun me up? I wrote several "smart" replies - but in the end could not post any of them. I figured she'd find out soon enough.<br />She lasted less than a week before moving on to "Yoga because it is more challenging"<br />Riiiiight!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11899718000434966098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650537279688481832.post-56753274008879776972014-01-19T18:44:02.685-08:002014-01-19T18:44:02.685-08:00Fritz, I agree.

I learned so much just listening to everyone. <br />I read about your injury. I am so very very sorry. What runs have you registered for? I have heard many runners that are injured this winter. At least it isn't 40 degrees and sunny. <br />If you have to look on the BRIGHT side:)Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373617950052883061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650537279688481832.post-91289546322150947542014-01-19T04:54:22.516-08:002014-01-19T04:54:22.516-08:00I remember being part of that ultra group! :) Of a...I remember being part of that ultra group! :) Of all the trail runs I've done I haven't told a story of a success that is as nearly as funny as one of my many failures. :) It gets confusing when I start bragging about my failures tho...Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212124356724770687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650537279688481832.post-65195552266710368402014-01-17T16:07:22.295-08:002014-01-17T16:07:22.295-08:00I love my goodies...I forgot to mention how much I...I love my goodies...I forgot to mention how much I LOVED the CHOCOLATE!
