Today during a job interview the subject of my running came up. I talked briefly about it, and what my goals are. This was the response, "I'm sorry I don't run." I smiled and told the woman it was ok.
Readers of this blog know this is a pet peeve of mine. When I talk about running, someone usually explains to me they don't run. Sometimes it is apologetic. Sometimes it is condesending. Sometimes it feels like they feel they should run. but are making excuses.
No really...it is ok if you don't run. Just because I do, does not mean you have to. This is my passion, and I enjoy sharing it. Everyone has something they are passionate about(I hope). If painting is your thing...great. If walking on a high wire is your cup of tea - excellent. Mine is running. So really...it's ok if you don't run.
