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 two 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
Today, thinking I was pretty healthy, I signed up for a 5K run. I didn’t train at all, thinking, “How hard can it be?” Halfway through, I realized I was in way over my head. I ended up walking the rest of the race, and a 70-year-old man lapped me twice. To make it worse, my friends made a banner that said, “Congratulations on Not Dying!” FML
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 told my gym trainer I’d do anything to get in shape. He challenged me to run a mile without stopping. I agreed, then got winded halfway through and dramatically collapsed on the track. A 70 year-oldish woman jogged past me and said, “You’ll live.” 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 went outside to start jogging for improving my ever declining fitness. A kind stranger yelled, “You’re doing great!” as I was wheezing after my first block. I was sitting on a bench. 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.

ignore them

I'm pretty sure she already did that.

I'm pretty sure since she said she was crying she didn't ignore them. Its not that easy ignoring someone bringing you down on something you're already insecure about but at least she did her best

Be proud of what you accomplished and forget those little shit heads! They're just a result of bad parenting.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Kids nowadays are such little assholes. Extremely rude and mostly out of control. Most of the time these children's parents are either way too lenient or not there. It's sad and society pays for it by us living with these little jerks. So let me say Congratulations to you OP. That is a tremendous feat and you should be extremely proud of yourself. I probably couldn't do it so that is impressive. Keep going and you can do anything. Good luck to you OP! :)

What they said meant nothing. You ran a marathon! Not many can do that and you did it untrained. Very impressive OP. Congrats on succeeding that difficult task!

I wonder if those kids could run even 60m without complaining. Congrats on finishing the race!

First of all, way to kick some ass! You didnt do a 5 or 10K you did a half-marathon! Despite what young immature children were saying, you should have your head high. Motivating yourself to anything like that is always the hardest part. So forget those who cant even do that, and look what you were able to achieve!

Wow...and where were their parents? What little brats. And huge congrats on the run! Right now, a quarter-mile would probably do me in, so I'm in awe :)

Well considering you were the one running and they where on bicycles, you should be calling them fat. don't let them get to you OP.
