hey so i am back from my other comic activities (visit my timeline to know who i was making fun of ;)) and on to running again. Would like to start with this short snappy list i like to call things non runners should know about runners 1. dont your legs hurt? is a stupid question. Of course they do. That is not only a side effect but kind of the whole point of this activity. 2. While talking to us please remember we run 20 kms on weekends as a recreational activity so when we refer to some distance as walking distance please hail a cab to go there. 3. Running for hours battling harsh weather gives us a condescending outlook on all other exercises. So please spare us details about your cardio in your fancy gym. We have a term for that intense 20 minute cardio workout your trainer designed for you. It is called warm up. 4. The distance in a marathon is as common knowledge to us as the number of deliveries in an over are to you. So dont expect us to be patient while answering what was the distance in yesterdays marathon. 5. Runners recall their cramps, dehydration and irregular body functions with the enthusiasm of housewives swapping pregnancy tales, so if the idea of anyone describing throwing up grosses you out, please stop listening to us. 6. The sports of swimming 3.8 kms, cycling 180 kms and running a full marathon is totally awesome and anyone doing this deserves the name ironman. Please do not hurt our sensitivities by calling watching Ironman 1,2, and 3 on DVD as doing Ironman triathlon. 7. Dont argue with us how running causes injuries and long term damage to your joints. Long term be damned our joints feel mighty fine now and we may demonstrate that with a kick at your rear. 8. Please do not ask us about our exercise and diets. We are athletes. we train and eat. 9. We refer to thigh as quads and drinking fluids as hydration. Dont ask us why. 10. Please do not get us on a therapy couch and try to analyze what we are really running from. The only answer the process is likely to reveal is idiots like you.
