What really bothers me..
I don't care if someone's faster than me. I respect them, they earned it. But what really annoys me .. is when people are faster than me and then they add "but I was only doing 5mpw and I've only been running for 4 months." I don't mean the guy is just running a little bit less than you, I mean he just started and he's faster than you.
Maybe I'm just jealous, and maybe I shouldn't be posting this here.
Example:
I can run a 5k in (insert pr minus 30 seconds). I weigh 250 pounds and have been running for 5 weeks. I run 2 miles a day 3 times every week.
Isn't that so annoying? You worked for years to earn what you have, but then some other guy does a little running and he's faster.
Thankfully some of this will go away as I get faster.. until then I guess it's just a part of running I'll have to accept.
