You, a runner? Hah!

I had to laugh. I went for a run during my lunch break today (probably around 4.5 miles) wearing a shirt I had received from a 5k I had run a couple years ago. I don't consider myself a great or natural runner. However, I also don't consider myself a wimpy runner. Lo and behold, a guy passes me today with a t-shirt from a 5o mile run he had participated in. He probably passed me and smirked as he saw the 5k emblazoned on my t-shirt. "Loser" may have even passed through his mind. While I did run one marathon, I can tell you that in my opinion a continent separates 26.2 miles and 50 miles. I chortled out loud as he passed, and, I continued to run.
