A coworker today said I’m not a “real runner”

because I run-walk my 5Ks and haven’t done a marathon. I’ve been running consistently for 2 years, love it, and feel healthier than ever. But her comment stung. My neighbor who runs 3 miles twice a week calls herself a “jogger,” not a runner. Meanwhile, my ultra-running friend says we’re all runners the moment we lace up. Where do you draw the line? Is it pace, distance, frequency, or just… showing up? #Running
