I get ribbed all the time at Running Club. It drives me nutty. I'm 29 and everyone else is 45+. If I have any successes, it's because I'm young and not because I worked for it. Or, they assume that I've been working out my entire life (I just started exercising 5 years ago) whereas they all started as adults (20 years ago).

I'm tired of hearing them complain about it. All of their kids are grown and in college. They are established and have all the time in the world to dedicate to working out. They don't have to find a babysitter or push a 40 lb baby jogger every time they want to do something. I have a 2 year old, 3 cats, work full time, take 2 night classes, my husband is absent 6 out of 7 days a week, I have hypothyroid, and 3 screws in each foot. I work Darn hard for every little success. It sure doesn't come easy to me. And if it only gets harder, then I'm in serious trouble.
