I am a runner

I was teary eyed when I read this blog post.  This was posted by a runner at SparkPeople.com.

Here is an excerpt:

"If you were motivated enough to train for and participate in an organized running event, then you were a runner. Anyone willing to risk public failure in order to be a part of the running community--no matter what his or her pace per mile might be--was a runner. Period."

It is a must read!

I AM A RUNNER!

    That was a fabulous post! And yes, you are absolutely a RUNNER!! It makes me sad when I see anyone doubting that fact...and furious when people act like jerks about the whole speed thing. If it makes any difference, I've always thought of you as a runner :)

    Thank you Teri! I am finally making progress with SparkPeople.com, dailymile.com and the FIRST running plans. :) Now I'm thinking about getting back into the "blog" of things.
