This morning I was running. Something I have been working hard at the past 2 weeks since over Summer I let this piece of me go. I was active and worked out but hadn't done this. Everyday I get stronger and I love that feeling and getting that piece of me back. As I was rounding a corner and literally wiping sweat from my face with the hand that has my wedding ring a car drove by. A lady yelled at her window "not fun to be the fu#$in Trophy Wife" and flicked her cigarette butt at me. For 1. I am no trophy wife. Never have been never will be. For goodness sake I rolled into workout clothes, no makeup, dropped my kid at school and ran. I am no prize. Hugely laughable. I am just a person doing my best to live a good life and be healthy. 2. I will not be mad at this woman or let her thoughts get in my head. As they say "I don't care what you think about me.. I don't think about you at all". After this post that is where this will lead. I don't know the story of her life. She could be going through something major. I'm actually sorry she has so much anger. I AM upset she flicked her cigarette at me. That was way uncalled for. 3. The AHA moment...So many of us are afraid or tentative to workout where people can see us when we are out of shape. I know in the beginning I was. I would run at night. I wish more would get over that. When I see a new runner or someone getting sweaty with a great walk it makes me so happy for them. I know they are changing their lives. Today was a wake up for me though on the opposite spectrum.... guess what? There will always be someone judging you. Your job? Brush it off. Focus on your health and happiness. That does not include the opinion of others. Only the support of people who truly care.
