People are clueless sometimes.
Would you run a few miles for me please? Runners just get my respect. Yeah I could swim the Ironman and I could bike the Ironman, but there is no way in h@ll I can run two miles let alone 26! And runners have great legs!

Sure I'll run a few for ya!
I actually love running. Though my shoes died their final death today and I had to cut my long run short. planned 18, ran 11.2. When my knees start talking back to me I KNOW it's time to shut er down. Luckily my new shoes should be here today or tomorrow so next week will def. get 18 in. I just didn't want to push it in worn out shoes. I've had knee problems before, so when they bark- I listen.
Oh and here are some pic's of me and the family for reference. I need to get some new ones on there. When I bring home my new baby tomorrow I'll have my son take some pictures of us.

oh... you are SO much nicer than I woulda been
people ARE ignorant... she probably didn't mean anything by it but wtf? my favorite response when someone makes a comment like that is to stop, look at them and say "Now WHY would you say something hurtful like that?" and then wait for the answer!
you have a great looking family... and just where are those extra pounds you mentionerd???
you look fantastic! 
oh... and don't run any miles for me... everything on me hurts just thinking about it!
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

ROFLMAO - I would've said "I don't know...did it work for you??"
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Not to throw water on your fire, but could she have been asking because you look more fit than she is? Sorry, I read her comment as complimentary, not insulting. Kinda like, "I wish I was motivated enough to do that - does it really work?"

I'll let you know when I finish EIGHTEEN MILES!!!
Sheesh. Guess some people talk without thinking. I can't imagine I could ever run 18 miles! You go girl!!! Doesn't matter what folks say--your reality is you can run a marathon and do a tri.
By the way, your photos made me SO HOMESICK. I grew up in Phoenix, and still miss the desert. I am hoping to get out there for spring break, but unfortunately it's not the same time as your Tri or I'd come cheer you on!!!
Good luck, and soak up some sun, blue sky, and desert scenery for me. By the way, also smell that great smell when it rains. To this day people look at me funny when I try to explain the wonderful smell you get in the desert when it rains!!! Wish they could bottle that!!!
