    They're just freaking jealous because they can't be bothered to get off the couch while you're out there running your *kitten* off.

    It's NOT unreasonable to expect your neighbors to treat you courteously. However, if they're going to be *kitten* there isn't much you can do.

    Perhaps try smiling widely, waving and saying 'hello to you too!' when you pass them?

    Sounds like they have some insecurities that they are dealing with...Keep doing what you are doing and embrace the hate and work it!! I always look at such situations and thank God for toughening my skin for what He knows is to come.. It is situations as these and people like them that help me go through life's next storms that had not I gone through that I wouldn't have made it through this! You are doing awesome!

    Some people have no class :(

    Keep running gal! It sounds like you have some cruel trash for neighbors. I don't know why they would pick on someone trying to better her health.

    ^^^ Couldn't agree with this more. Totally classless. I'm sorry you have such ppl as neighbors. Keep the music cranked and your eyes to sky! :drinker:

    It would certainly be a shame if someone threw rocks at their house...

    Your neighbors are *kitten*.

    I'm sorry you have to deal with that....it's sheer stupidity and ignorance on their part...and what a horrible example for their kid.

    Keep the headphones on and keep doing your thing...

    Or take a *kitten* on their front yard. Your choice.

    I commend you for sticking up for yourself! Just remember all the positive comments this site gives you when you are feeling down about this! Whenever I see someone running on the road I always say "you go girl!" haters gonna hate. Wear an ipod and rock out to some positive tunes like Christina Agulera's "fighter"!

    Everyone else has some really good and helpful advice you should listen to.

    I don't. I think you should hurt them, hurt them in the worst ways imaginable. Many of which would not be legal.

    I really hate people who do that sort of thing. But you're amazing for keeping at it, know that.

    Keep the headphones in and the music turned up, that's what I do. Humans are *kitten*.

    I used to run through a City park on my lunch hour and the homeless people would taunt me with "Run Forrest Run". Keep up the good the work, exercise is never a waste of time. I agree with all the others, turn up your headset with some really good, fun, heart pumping music, keep your eyes on the road and soon you won't even notice them. Bullies are always sad, pathetic people trying to justify their own miserable low self-esteem ... not worth the time to even think about them!

    What is wrong with these people! Jerks! Anyway, whatever is wrong with these people is not your problem. Carry on and tell them its a public street, they don't like what they see, keep their eyes to themselves.

    Horrible!!!

    if you can run for 2.5 hours straight, your cardio is tip top and i'd be willing to bet you could out-swing those b1tches...stop and motion them to aproach you then pounce on 'em and ground and pound the **** out of em.

    buncha pricks.

    We can change the size of our bodies. We can make them healthier no matter the size. But small minded people with sick thoughts will always be small minded and sick. Feel sorry for their son but hope that somehow the example you give him will make a positive impression despite the life he is stuck in.

    Where do all these nasty people live? I am overweight and it took me a lot of courage to go out on the streets and run, and I was nervous, having read stories just like this. However, I have never, ever had this experience of people yelling at me or laughing. In fact, I've not met with anything but a wave and a smile as I run past people's houses or past other runners.

    I can't believe that people can be so rude. Keep running...you're going to be a LOT healthier and fitter than those people who make fun of you - and come the Zombie Apocalypse, you just have to run faster than them!! :bigsmile:

    Just keep going. You are a much classier lady than they are.
    Maybe ask the wife if she would like to come keep up with you, doubt she could or would.
    In the mean time sing louder or turn up the music and hope they move soon.

    I am literally floored by this post. What kind of area do you live in? Judging by your weight system it sounds like you live somewhere in Europe. I live in the North Eastern United States and I can't even comprehend this happening. I used to be 270lbs at only 5'7 and never have I experienced people openly mocking or insulting me weather it be at the gym or running down a busy street. This is a new low for the human race.
