When you try and better yourself! There’s always someone dragging you down and laughs in your face!! πŸ˜’ I rang my partner up to tell him I did my run and his brother laughed his head off at me! Thinking I won’t complete my 5k!!

Prob why he has a huge beer gut! And can’t even get out of bed on time for work!!! 🀬 Lazy 🀬 (ooooo I wish I could swear on here!! 😑) absolutely gutted and fuming!!

People who laugh or can't give a positive comment are just jealous of you.

You will get to 30 minutes/ 5k and we are here to encourage you all the way. 😊😊

Just ask that guy who has a beer gut to run for 15 seconds, I bet he couldn't, ignore him, people like that should never criticise others like you who run and do exercise, just ask your partner to tell his brother to shut up, at least your partner is supporting you, good luck for your running. 😊 πŸƒπŸΎ

Don't be gutted. You can do it! Just focus on yourself or use that anger to get you through a tough run πŸ’ͺπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Hmm, I sense that Mr Beer Gut’s laughter may fade shortly as you run smoothly past him, healthy, fit, strong, confident and with a massive smile on your face 😁.....you’re a hero. Enjoy every step of your running and know that we are all cheering you on πŸ’πŸ†πŸ‘

Hmm....I often feel people who act like this are insecure in their own abilities - he’ll probably be googling C25K tonight in order to convince himself that he could do it too if he wanted to - if he doesn’t look it up, he’ll ask you more about it and try to ridicule you further.

I’ve got some clients who are keen runners, when I told them I had started the programme and how far I’d done, they were amazingly supportive and encouraging. There’s me celebrating running for 10 minutes non stop and they’re celebrating with me while telling me about the half marathon they did last weekend πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£. No ridicule or teasing, just encouragement. ❀️

Wow! That’s some going! Half a marathon!!

He claimed he ran in treadmill some years back! I doubt it! He struggles walking!!

Agree with the replies here - best thing is to get out and do it and show this so-and-so that you’re amazing!

I intend too! Not going to mention anything to him again! Even tho my conversation was with my partner! Ignorance!! πŸ‘

Remember actions speak louder than words. Just do it and send a picture of the App after your final run. Telling him he inspired you to achieve πŸ‘πŸ‘

Chewy73Graduateβ€’ in reply toPj61andgone

I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of him thinking it was him that kept me going! I want to do this for me, myself and I πŸ’ͺπŸ˜πŸ‘

Cheeky sod!

Use this as an accidental gift to make you all the more determined and he will be laughing in the other side of his face when you have finished with him!

Damn right! Think the anger has made me stronger! πŸ’ͺ

It's all about him and his insecurities that he is directing onto you!

I've got the same going on with someone. I'm more than happy to use their negativity as my positivity and to stick two fingers straight up at them. Mind you, I'd happily cup a fart and rub it in their face too. Can I say that on here? 🀣
