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.

That's horrible. Don't let those little douchebags get to you OP. You should be proud of yourself for achieving your goal and know that what you did was amazing. Keep up the good work!

Forget them! You should be proud of yourself. That's an incredible thing. I sure couldn't do it. I know it's easier said than done, but hang in there!

You RAN it! There's not a ton of people who can do half marathons, but you made a goal and you nailed it! That makes you committed, and on top of that a great person because you did it for charity. And that makes those kids bullies. I think it's obvious who is the better person in this situation. So brush yourself off and pay no attention. We're all very proud of you.

I doubt they could do it themselves. Pieces of shit. What the hell is wrong with children?

At a guess, lack of supervision and poor examples to look up to. The people they should be looking up to are the ones they are making fun of. Very sad.

You should be really proud of yourself, OP! That was a great achievement! Don't let those ignorant kids bother you at all... They're not worth your time thinking about it! Be happy for what you just achieved! =)

You are amazing for doing that half marathon, I know people who are fit who couldn't do it. kids now a days have no manners and are extremely rude. ignore them because there going to grow up and probably achieve nothing.
