A bit of a change this morning- Chai spiced pear and buckwheat porridge with banana, figs, walnuts and a drizzle of maple syrup. Interesting, but I think I still prefer my oatmeal

WAIT THERES MORE

“It’s odd that female athletes care so much about how they’re performances are perceived by coaches, spectators, etc. Everybody is there for the main event (Men’s race) and they just cheer for the corresponding jersey color in the women’s race.

Sorry. I heard this from multiple spectators.”

so i have this 3 hour period between my first job and my other job so naturally im reading forums on letsrun.com

and theres this post about a girl who publicized her experience with an eating disorder while running D1 and how her coach put pressure on her to lose weight and her teammates would compete to see who could be thinnest and all that stuff that happens sometimes

and an ACTUAL PERSON

ACTUALLY POSTED

ACTUALLY

“I’d just like to point out that it is stories like this (which are common) that just goes to prove women should not be running (or competing in competitive sports for that matter). They simply can not handle the pressure.”

You’ll reach a point in which old race shirts and running shorts are not only what you wear running, but what you wear to bed, to school, to parties…

do you ever think about how weird humans are in modern society

we look for physical activities that our body is least efficient at doing (aka burning the most calories)

and we search for ways to make our bodies less energy efficient (aka raising our metabolism)

idk its not like bad i guess its just weird like why do we need to do that ya know

Do you run before or after you eat breakfast in the morning?

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 05:26:58 -0500

after! i have tried running on an empty stomach and it just doesn’t fly i have no energy

I love to run, but I'm not on a team or anything... I just like doing it for fun. Do you think I could still be considered a "runner?"

if you run

you = runner!

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 05:17:00 -0500

Hi Ronnie! So I know that on Tumblr, a lot of us in the running community flock to you! So I’d like to graciously ask you to relay a message from the Arcadia XC team to said running community. Our coach (Jim O’Brien) has been fired for no legitimate reason and we’re trying to appeal the decision. Anyway, we’re getting the word out through Facebook so if you could, please please “answer” this submission so people see the link ?www.facebook.com/KeepCoachOBrienAtArcadia I , and my team, would appreciate it so much. Thank you! :)
