PMS and Danskin Despair

[Flatlander]

I think I'd like to try one of those Danskin tris--they look like fun--a real celebration of life, swim angels and all! I'm not sure why anyone would say they weren't a "real" try unless they were just being snarky. Sometimes people just have a need to tear others down--that's more about them than it is about you...

At my office, whenever someone asks me what I am training for and I answer a triathlon, the next question is "how long is it?" When I tell them it's a sprint, they immediately shrug,like it's no big deal. Then they start telling me how atheltic they are, and that they would exercise if it weren't for (fill in the blank here).

I just nod and smile.

I guess the point is, that it's like the saying: You can sit on the porch and bark, or you can get out there and run with the big dogs. You're running with the big dogs--anyone who denigrates what you do is just sitting on the porch barking at you.

You get out there and have a good time.

Well put! I'm going to remember that one, especially when I'm making my way across the lake in the tri--I'm out here paddling with the big dogs!

Yes, I like this quote. I've seen it as a signature line on a forum somewhere, but I can't remember which one. If I ever see it again, I'll come back and give the person credit for it (though I don't know if it was "his" or someone he was quoting...)

Anyway, I like it, too!

I wanna run with the big dogs!
