RE: Your Distance Runner post… As someone who doesn’t concentrate on speed, I feel the opposite burn - people who don’t think I’m a real runner because - despite being able to go longer distances - I can’t knock out a 5 or 6 or 7 or even 8 minute mile. I know that it’s what I have to do for my asthmatic body, but it still sucks to get the perception from others. - When your legs get tired, run with your heart.

That’s another thing that I hate! Just because some people don’t have the speed doesn’t mean they’re not working just as hard, if not harder!
