    This makes me happy, seriously! I go running at night because I don't like people seeing me go running because I'm chubby and I'm slow... But this seriously makes me happy!! And gives me motivation!

    There are a handful of girls who are this girl at my gym. I see some of them there every time I'm there! They do cardio and weight train and I just want to tell them, "You are so awesome for being here" but I feel like it would be so condescending for me to do that.

    Edit: double post...sorry

    I agree it could come across that way. Sometimes a sincere smile and a simple "Hello" go a long way though, I think. :happy:
    There are a lot of very elderly people (some in their 90s) who work out at my gym, and I'm always inspired by them, but I wouldn't know how to say it either. I do try to be friendly though, but I'm very shy too :blushing:

    This is great. Thanks for sharing, but let's all go to the blog and give them some traffic. They deserve it for such a great post.

    and no, this is not my blog or anything, but as a blog I know how much fun a spike in traffic can be.

    This is awesome, especially since I am the 'fat girl' trying to run.
