No Fake Runners

I have often said, "I'm not really a runner. I just run." Claiming to be a runner, when I have never done anything athletic in my life, seemed just too far a stretch. I didn't want to be labeled something I didn't deserve. I guess that is why this sign spoke to me. What I do know is that I am not a fake runner, so, by their definition, I AM a runner.
I ran eight miles this morning. I thought I was lagging through some of it. Turns out, when I got home and plugged my Garmin into my computer and read the stats, I was actually on a great pace the whole run.
I am proud to be a runner...at any pace!
