Classic… Non Runners Quotes……..

See i do follow you Twitter folk and a lot of what you’ve all been discussing online this week has really tickled me. Tickled me enough to create the following list. I know I shouldn’t mock these comments but after months even years of hearing the same old quotes I find the life quickly gets drained from me as I roll my eyes looking to the heavens above for some strength. I swear… on my life… the following quotes are factual and what my ears have had to endure :-

• Oh, you run marathons do you? How far is that??
• You have a Marathon at the weekend. How long will that take you to complete? An hour maybe hour and a half?
• Wow I admire you running a 10k race. I know I couldn't run that far. Oh but have you tried too?..... No!
• Mo Farrah who's that??.... Is he an actor?
• What advice can you give me? I'd like to start running at the weekend.... (So you spend 10minutes+ offering words of advice).... Monday morning, How did the run go?? No I didn't go I was too tired/it was cold/raining
