Health: Today, I achieved a personal goal by completing a half-marathon...

By rolypoly - 05/03/2014 12:33 - United Kingdom

Today, I achieved a personal goal by completing a half-marathon for charity, despite being overweight and unfit before training. When I finished I cried, not because I was proud of myself, but because I ran the last 2 miles while being followed by kids on bicycles calling me a "fat cunt". FML

Today, I finally went running to help me start losing weight. I got 50 metres before someone in a passing car shouted out "Run fatty, run". I can't work up the courage to go for a run again. FML

Good cause, bad knees

Today, I took part in a charity run for a good cause. I'd trained for months and showed up, only to trip and fall flat on my face at the starting line. I spent the rest of the race with scraped knees and a bruised ego. FML

Today, while going for my daily run, a woman stopped me and said, "I think it's so great that people of your size are comfortable enough to run and show their bodies in public." FML

Today, I decided to get back into shape and go for a run. With a 1/4 mile left to run, I saw a hot chick a block ahead of me running. Trying to show off I ran hard and passed her stopping just outside my complex. I started to throw up right as she came past me because I had run so hard to pass her. FML

Today, I was having a race with a little kid. I let him win to make him feel like a champion. After the race, he turned to me and said, "Maybe if you weren't so fat you would have won." FML

Today, I did a sprint in gym class. Despite being the skinniest in the class, I ran slower than everyone else, including two morbidly obese people. FML

Today, about 10 minutes into my first jog in months, someone in a car started following me, yelling stuff like "Oh my god, it's Shamu!" and "Run faster, fatty!" I ended up breaking down in tears before he finally sped off, roaring with laughter. FML

Today, I competed in my first half marathon since getting my new wheelchair. The mile marker I was meant to follow turned out to be the ex I cheated on. I eventually outpaced her, only to bump into the ex who cheated on me. I’ve gotta stop shitting where I eat. FML

Today, I was running a marathon for my school. Two hot girls started talking to me, so I glanced at them, and smiled. I turned back, just in time to knee a little boy in the face. FML

Today, I participated in a walk for charity. Even though I was supposed to walk 5K, I stopped after 3K because the pain from my thighs rubbing together nearly sent me to tears. FML

That's absolutely horrible I'm so sorry :( tbh I don't think I could've finished it if that had happened to me. You must be very strong willed. Congrats and sorry again.

Kids... most of them today are worthless. You did a half marathon! That's awesome! Betcha they couldn't even come close to running that far. You did something amazing today, and you should be proud of that. Think of it this way... will it matter tomorrow that a few little knobgoblins called you fat? No. They don't matter. They're ignorant little *****.

Jeez, what assholes. Well, you were the one who ran TWO MILES while their lazy asses followed your around on bikes. You managed to accomplish something great and for a good cause, while those kids are clearly too dumb to find anything useful to do with their time.

I'm really sorry that that happened to you :( I don't understand why some people in this world have be to so ******* awful to others. Please don't listen to them; you should be incredibly proud of yourself for pushing yourself that far and working for what you want xxx

That's awful, congratulations on accomplishing your goal and seeing it through to the end. I could not have done that :)

The reason they're riding bikes is because they don't have the balls to run a half marathon unlike you.

Sorry about those people being so mean. I applaud you for doing that half-marathon and finishing it despite what happened, I don't think I would be able to do that even without people being mean.
