About Chunkygirlsmarathon

I am a lifetime chunky girl. And I want to run a marathon. This blog is to see if it can be done. All the books out there, even the ones for non runners are for skinny people. This will be my training log, expect photos, videos, and all my thoughts along the way. Thanks for tuning in.

RUNNING PARTNERS (the five reasons to leave them at home)


1. I DESPISE RUNNING WITH PEOPLE!!! ESPECIALLY SKINNY PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE OUT OF SHAPE!!!!! Their skinny butts can run circles around me even if I've been training for months.
2. Its impossible to find anyone who is not skinny to run with you. NO FAT PERSON WANTS TO RUN. EXCEPT ME!
3. They try to be supportive but watching them try to run slower to run with me feels like torture cause its clearly more of an effort to run slow then to just run at normal pace for them.
4. You have to watch them pass you, then be in front of you, and then eventually lap you and then repeat!!!! I wish I could trip them.
5. In the game of mind over matter, it is extremely important to not feel defeated. BUT when you are lugging 300lbs around the track the word defeat is so inevitable that its laughable. THE LAST thing you need is to watch some skinny person, who claims to be out of shape bounce pass you over and over again. TRYING to BE SUPPORTIVE!
