Honest. We just like moaning and we pretend we're not training to make real slackers feel better about themselves. Actually Mike, we all train very hard. Honest.

I followed a bunch recently so it doesn't seem like i'm the only person in the world training, and to read about others' persistence, training methods, nutrition, etc. What I got was something entirely different. I've never heard so much whining in my life. I'm starting to equate running bloggers with wimpy whiners who don't even run, much less even like to run. These people (not pointing anyone out specifically) talk about how they reluctantly went on a 2 mile run, feel guilty for not running, feel guilty for gorging themselves with junk food, have trouble getting up the motivation for a run, etc. Try having a positive mental attitude, people! Like Deena Kastor in the movie "Spirit of the Marathon." She fractured her foot while training but stayed optimistic and just trained hard in different ways. She didn't complain and didn't quit, and she came back to get 1st place in women's. Where are the Deena Kastors of the blogosphere?? Thanks for pointing out running bloggers that actually update.

I am pretty consistent but very soft - any bad weather and I stay on the treadmill. Ah Adele If only that was 100% true.
