I have serious problems with people who are lazy and hate running who then go around paint a negative picture about running.
Like any gathering if you go there looking for nonsense you will find it,that does not mean people go to marathons for nonsense!
A lot of people go to run to just keep fit,some go because they were asked by a doctor to loose weight,
Some even come to run with their families and some come to run with no partners.Imagine the kind of thinking you will be planting in people minds!
