Insulted today in the grocery store.

Thanks...I'm having fun with my new smart phone, and trying to share some life experiences with these younsters.

Nice on the nick names "Gasser & Stinky"...😷

Why do you care so much about what you look like, or what idiots say to you? Its what you do that counts. You are not a show pony. You are a runner. How fast you run matters.

Friendly Advice: Never allow strangers to talk to you.

There's too much in the mechanics department going on down there to say that. You could just as easily say that the longer levers (feet) provide more mechanical advantage.Two guys on my college team who both had something like size 13+ feet:1:45 800m.8:35 steeple

I've always understood that smaller feet are preferable for a (distance) runner. Not sure what height has to do with being an identifiable trait that makes for a good runner, either.

I've heard the key is having long toes.

Stop trying to make him feel good. He was put together with spare parts that didn't fit any other human.

It was late on a Friday when Gawd made him and he was low on parts and keenly looking forward to his first beer of the weekend.

How can you be so sure it was an insult?

Wow, you look just put together, don't ya. 😘

The main insult was saying "look like you were just put together".... That's pretty insulting. That's literally like saying I'm not a normal human. Like I'm defective and just a mixture of scattered bodyparts. The other stuff didn't bother me. It was the part that suggested I was simply thrown together from junkyard parts.

Go take a long walk off a short pier, Frankenstein. This is a running board. Let's stick to running things.

Well if it makes you feel any better your typical posts make it seem like you were given Ted Bundy's brain while they were assembling your body from the junkyard.

Are you trying to wind people up? There's no way an insecure guy should have a problem with height and big feet, virtually cheat cards for finding dates, and not being fat or near-fat like just about every other adult.

Don't feel so bad...I go through life looking like a real chump 😄. Once at a Xmas party, I was having this conversation with a group of people and I happen to mention to his sophisticated looking chap, who was wearing a pinstriped suit & loafers, that I was a distance runner (I was to trying act like a big shot). He said "please...you're a sad sight for sore eyes...I didn't think they made them so squatty." 😅.

Also one time while doing a long run circuit at an open-space park, a group of high school kids flagged me down and said "accuse me sir...it's painful to watch you run...have you ever thought of taking up cycling?" 😁.

So, remember there's always someone that looks far worse than you.😉

Is your name Alberto Salazar or Ms. Paula Radcliffe???

Oh my god I'm so sick of hearing about snowflakes and safe spaces. Will you people get some new buzzwords.

Frankenstein was not the name of Frankenstein's monster. It is now revealed to be Mark Schultz

You weren't insulted. You were told: "You look like you were just put together. Tall, skinny, big feet..." The person may think that is an amazing look. Or you actually may look like you were just put together. Tall, skinny, big feet. Next time when someone points out that you have brown hair and have two eyes, are you going to be be offended again? He was either right about describing you, in which case he just stated the reality, or he is not, in which case he is an idiot and there is no reason to contemplate his comments. I really do not mean to hurt your feelings, but please grow a pair and stop getting offended so easily.

I get turned off when I meet a girl with big feet...

I don't...especially if she's wearing stilettos.

OK pal couple things here.

(1) You gotta learn to be happy being you cause you ain't gonna be anyone else. You are what you are and that is A-OK.

(2) This random guy's opinion simply does not matter.

(3) Um ... ever hear of Jim Ryun? For starters?

(4) There are fast people who look fast, fast people who look slow, and slow people who look all kinds of ways. But you know what's actually impressive? Dedication and working your ass off no matter how fast you are right now. That's worthy of respect. That's what a runner "looks like". Allright?
