So friday morning I sat down to read some blogs. I've got to say I love being apart of a facebook blogger group. I love having the daily "reminder" to stop and read whats going on with other peoples lives that are also local. But friday morning I came across this blog in the reader, she titled it Controversy Hobby Jogger as I read it I really had no idea that there were people out there that considered themselves "Elite" runners that weren't doing it professionally (are there actually professional runners outside of like the Olympics/nationals?)
As I read it I realized, I don't really consider myself any sort of runner. I enjoy running. I love running with the boys in the jogger, I like running on a treadmill alone. I love listening to music while I run. I don't run terribly far. I did 2 miles on saturday pushing the jogger with the boys and that felt good. I don't think I'll make my 500 mile goal (I kinda failed horribly already.)
I will say that even after reading the blog post, I was slightly more aware of encountering other runners. I was pleasantly surprised though that while out running on saturday morning I didn't encounter any "elites" I encountered a lot of respect. It was mutual because even being a "hobby jogger" I'm still lapping my former self on the couch, and thats what matters.
