Mom on the Run

We need to talk

Fitness, Fitness related, Marathons - Anupriya kapur - October 30, 2015

Runners evolve. There are some that take off on a moment’s notice, do a 50km and nobody ever knows about it except the trees and the birds. And they have my absolute respect and admiration. But for us lesser mortals running is about sharing. And talking. Lots of talking. Understandably, it can be annoying to non-runners. I thought this video captured this quirk that we all share wonderfully, “First Person To Run A Marathon Without Talking About It“. Watch it if you haven’t yet as it pokes fun at all of us. We all love talking about it and we all have our reasons,  here are some I could think of, would love to hear yours –

1) Only 1% of world population has ever run a full marathon. Beat that.

2) If you can talk about how much fun you had scuba diving or doing crossfit or zumba or about your vegan meal then I can talk about running.

3) If I didn’t talk about it, did I actually run it?

4) How do I inspire (or at least think I’m inspiring while actually I might be quite irritating) if I don’t talk about it?

5) I love the look on people’s faces when I say I ran 42.2 km.

6) Because I don’t know how to shut up if 4-6 months of my otherwise mundane life is devoted to it.

7) Running releases endorphins – endorphins get people (me) talking. Simple.

8) Makes Murakami happy. What you haven’t read “What I talk about when I talk about running”?

9) When I talk, I set targets and when I set targets with other people I do my damned best to keep them.

10) It’s one of the better ways to connect with people with common goals.

    this was hilarious and so true…. I have all the reasons as above.. especially cause I am overweight.. the reaction of people when I say I ran 42.2 kms is a treat to watch 🙂 also one thing that has made me feel wonderful about myself.. because of my posts on FB I have had at least 5-7 friends come up to me and say ‘bro I ran 2k.. all inspired by you and I will run a race soon’ This ADHM itself a cousin and a school friend are running their first HM.. they say I am their inspiration.. by not winning a single race in my life.. this is a victory in itself.. no?

    You are so right. I wonder if I am capable of running without talking about it! My non running friends go crazy!

    This is a good one, Anu !!!!

    In my case is very simple: I talk about my life, run is part of my life, therefore… I talk about running !! 🙂

    Very true. Know so many of them. Have myself done it. So, to run and not talk about it, its impossible. I think its about being different and to be able to inspire more people around you are key reasons why anyone who runs and talks. …Sameer
