Hi all,

I removed my previous post because I think it was a bit sexist. Many apologies; I really did not intend to come across that way!!

And there was me thinking you'd seen me run past. It's been many years, if ever, that I was objectified by a women, or anyone for that matter, so as sexist as some may have seen it, I took it as a compliment 🀣🀣

Nobody complained about it, I just didn't want any disturbed sleep thinking they might!

🀣I wondered why I couldn’t find it!

My daughter’s partner had been out for a long run...21km from their home near West Blatch Windmill, down to King Alfred...along to the Marina, and home again! I thought he may have been one of the people you’d seen πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‰

...then I discovered he ran Monday πŸ™„πŸ˜‚

I used to live at the top of Hangleton, and went to playgroup at St Peter’s right by the windmill. 😍

Surely not, just a bit of fun...though I did forget the original reason for the post about how awesome we all are. Amazing job reaching 2020 miles between us, we are a supportive bunch πŸ˜ŠπŸŽ‰πŸ‘

I thought it was fun too, just got a bit worried that it wasn't something I should be encouraging 😊

Yes, isn't it amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Was the prom busy? Widewater Lagoon was insane yesterday.

roseabiUltramarathonβ€’ in reply toMaddee_6333

Crazy busy!! Difficult to run, sadly. I was wearing a fleecy snood, and I had it pulled up over my nose for most of the run - it was quite good actually 😊😊😊

I just saw it as a bit of fun. No offence here. But you’re right, there are some seriously speedy folk on that promenade! I sometimes like to tag on to them to give me a target or just to keep me going when I’m struggling.

roseabi profile image
roseabiUltramarathonβ€’ in reply toRunBrianRun

Thanks Brian! I just want to be a responsible admin 😊😊😊

I saw a few of them more than once, and definitely one of them was doing speed intervals! I like to tag onto people too sometimes, it's very handy and I don't think they ever notice me. There was one time ages ago at parkrun when I finished and a woman told me she'd been using me as a pacer!! It was a bit awkward because I was having one of those post-parkrun nausea moments πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I can understand why you removed it, although I don’t think anyone took offence. The question is would someone have taken offence if you switched genders. Very tenuous now. It doesn’t stop us thinking what you did as we run along though. πŸ˜‰ .

roseabi profile image
roseabiUltramarathonβ€’ in reply toDexy5

I didn't get any complaints, but yes that question of gender switching was one of the things that made me pause for thought.

Also, by 'fit' I meant 'fast' not 'sexy', but I didn't realise when I posted that I needed to make that distinction! We live and learn 😊😊😊

Yes these new meanings for words we’ve used for years does confuse things.

Likewise, I had no problem with the original post but it did cross my mind that it wouldn't go down very well if I'd posted something similar.
