THESE TWO RESPONSES!!!!!
Define hobby jogger? Unless you are sponsored and/or earn your living from running, everyone is a hobby jogger. Differences are just relative. Go f*%k yourselves.
I couldn't agree more, Entrunner.
To everyone who is posting complaints about "hobby joggers" in this thread, there are only two differences between them and you.
1. They obviously don't give a flying f*ck what any of you think and they will continue to drink water while exercising and wear the gear that they love whether or not you are losing sleep over it at night. They sure as hell don't.
2. They run for SANE reasons: health, fun, fitness, goals, etc. They don't run 100+ miles a week to put themselves into an imaginary superhero class.
Some of you sound so miserable and cynical that you would probably benefit from meeting for a group run with your local running club. They could teach you about how to enjoy life more.
Today I was getting changed at my local gym after a 60 minute run outside. A lady came in from her 2 mile run on the treadmill wearing a pink Nike running skirt, matching tank top, pink i-Pod, and silver Nike Shox. She had a water bottle attached to her running skirt. When she started talking to me about how her run went my world did not suddenly come crashing to an end. I asked her how long she had been a "runner" for. She told me she had been running for 2 years and 1 month to this day - she knew that because it was the day she was diagnosed with breast cancer. I realized her pink skirt was a breast cancer awareness skirt. I also realized she had incredibly short hair (looked like it had been all shaved at one point). I'd love to hear how everyone else would have treated her. I forgot to mention, she had a 26.2 tattoo on one of her calves. What a freak, right?
