I was asked by some friends to help out with a team marathon thing since people know I run. Some other people asked me how fast I can run, and I said something like, "Oh, I'm not fast at all any more. I will probably run about 7:00 pace." (My leg was 8 miles). I was just being honest, but I guess some people got mad about it and thought I was trying to be arrogant and condescending. They run about 10:00pace...
I am not competitive at all these days and just run cause I like to. I never talk about my running accomplishments, nor do I try to use them to feel "better" than other people. But I made a social misstep in being honest I guess. This happen to anyone else?
