Several months ago I was boasting about the race I had just completed and about the many races I was planning on entering. A particular person asked me what I wore when I ran.
Particular Person (PP): What do you wear when you go running?
Me: I usually wear a cotton t-shirt and shorts or a running skirt.
PP: You aren’t a real runner!
Me: Excuse me?
PP: You aren’t a real runner. My daughter is a runner and she will only wear shirts that are made of dry wicking material. She’s a real runner, she wins the races that she enters.
Me: I think I’m a runner, even if I wear cotton.
PP: No you aren't!
Can you believe that? I just couldn’t argue with her anymore because I knew it would get me nowhere!
You are a runner no matter what you wear!

Participating in the A-Z challenge. The challenge is to write a post everyday using the corresponding letter of the alphabet. The theme I’ve decided to tackle during this challenge is running. The posts will spotlight varied running related aspects. Enjoy the running journey

Absolutely. A runner runs--just like a writer writes. Do we care wether he does it with pen, pencil or keyboard? Of course not. Love those pictures.

That's just ridiculous! Some people's kids! :)
Thanks Francene...glad you enjoyed the pictures. They are pretty funny!
Totally ridiculous! Crazy!
Clearly they haven't seen what I wear running! Although, I finally broke down and bought "running shorts" to help with slipping and sweating.
