Some lady 'BROKE MY SMOLDER' yesterday. :(

Still 'SMARTNG' from something that happened yesterday.

Feeling quite CRUSHED actually

I can't let this one go for some reason. Pity pot USA

I ran 6 miles yesterday.

During my run, I notice a car slowing down and a lady popping her head out the window.

She yelled, "GOOD FOR YOU!!"

I pulled out my ear buds and said, "Excuse Me?" "I couldn't hear you".

She said, "GOOD FOR YOU!"

I smiled and said, "Yeah, thanks!" and kept running.

But, what I felt was awash with shame and negativity.

My guess is that she doesn't pull over for the average runner and say, "GOOD FOR YOU!"

Just my particular SIZED runner gets her attention.

I mean, seriously? I'm sure she meant well, but what it sounded like was like someone talking to a child to try to convince them they are doing well while actually what they are thinking is, "Ooh, I hope you don't blow it."

I suppose I could have taken it that way.

Yet, I did not.

This happened in the Fall while I was riding my bike as well.

Some lady in a VW bug yelled out the same saccharin, "GOOD FOR YOU!"

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I'm going to make a shirt with my story screen printed on it and wear it when I go running.

This is what it would say:

I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY ILL FOR 5 YEARS

I AM ONLY ONE TEENY TINY STEP AHEAD OF A RAMPANT DISEASE

YET, I AM RUNNING ANYWAY

SO

SHUT UP

AND GET OUT OF YOUR CAR

AND

LETS RACE!

FIRST ONE TO THE FINISH LINE MAKES THE OTHER ONE

KISS THEIR "WELL WORN running shoes"

(I'll let you guess what I really want them to kiss )
