I don't get that mindset at all. Why would someone go out of there way to be derogatory to someone that has clearly accomplished something?
Some people just need to feel good about themselves, and they do this by putting others down. There are also people who just don't realize they are being mean. For example, my boss does Crossfit rolleyes2) and they had to run a 5k as part of their workout one day. He then asked me what my 5k time is and I said my fastest was about 32 minutes (at that time). He said "Oh, I thought you would have been faster." Ouch. I went home that day and ran one of my best runs so far
Marine Corps is also a very good race for those who are worried about feeling accepted. Very runner friendly for all varieties of runner.
I was planning to enter the lottery for this one, but the Chicago opportunity came up so I am going to see how that plays out first. I have some connections to the Chicago race and was told I should know by Christmas if I can get in.
Not funny for your brother, but this reminds me of the HIMYM when Barney runs the New York Marathon and then gets stuck on the subway for hours because his legs are so sore he can't get up at his stop. Haha!
That was such a great episode!
