No thanks Mrs Scrooge

[Gchurchlow]

So I was just setting out for a run when I was stopped by a lady who proceeded to tell me running was a bad idea, doctors knew nothing and so on! No idea why she thought she had the right to lecture me when I clearly was just about to start running. Maybe I looked like I was ready to give up. I wasn't. I ran 6k in a good time so ya boo, sucks to you, Madam!

People never ceases to amaze me! Why would you do that! Well done on your 6km, we understand 😀.

[Gchurchlow in reply to Realfoodieclub]

It was a "sod you" 6k.

Some folk are sent to make us smile

She was probably just jealous. 🤢

Lol

I never take these things seriously. I would have said something entirely flippant / spurious like ...

"Oh, I'm not running for pleasure, far from it. I've got half a kilo of weed needs to be delivered to Gimpy Joe before noon."

Jealous... or just the Ghost of Christmas Crackers

[Millsie-J Graduate]

Guess thats why they say never speak to strangers........and she was very strange!

Nice run 👍🏼

She probably is jealous!!! Certainly doesn’t know the anazing health benefits for both physical & mental health!! So well done to an amazing 6k😊👍👏🏼

Some people just love to be negative and miserable. Well done you for turning it into a positive ‘yah boo sucks’ run! I’ve had the same no end of times with people telling me how running is so bad for my joints and at my age (50) I shouldn’t be starting running. Then they go on to moan about their aches and pains and how long it takes to see the doctor, yadda yadda yadda. There’s the best reason for carrying on what we’re doing right there. Yah boo sucks indeed! 🏃‍♀️

[Gchurchlow]

Yes it was a lot about joints but also cardiovascular. I'm 58 but I am probably fitter and healthier than I have been for ages. Being 58, I think I am grown up to know to stop if anything hurts. So next time I see Mrs Scrooge I will Sprint, well DASH, past with a cheery wave.

Perfect title... she obviously would like to be a runner, but for whatever reason, feels she can't & begrudges others....
