Okay, I wasn't going to let this bother me, but I just have to let it out! Some doucher at my fitness center really irked me this morning! I went in at the exact time as him. He got on one treadmill and I got on the other to do my C25k w2d3. He ran on his treadmill the whole 30 minutes that he was on it. I had kept to my workout plan and did the walk/jog as I was supposed to. Week 2 is actually 31 minutes so I was 1 minute longer than him and was at the very last stage of my cooldown happy with myself because I didn't stop at all! Then Mr. ImAHotShot came up to me and said "I noticed you kept going back to walking after only a little running, not EVERYONE can have stamina like me!" ...At first I thought he was just messing with me, but then I realized he was really THAT into himself! I was amazed that someone I have never met could say something like that to me. I tend to have a temper, so instead of getting permanently kicked out of the center, I gave him a quick death stare, stopped my machine (with 17 secs left), grabbed my stuff and stormed out. I just can't believe him. I have been so proud of my progress in C25k and he just crushed it in one sentence!

    Don't let some insecure douche bag upset you. :) He isn't worth getting upset about it. Had it been me, I probably woulda said "Well, not everyone can mind their own business like ME" and walked away. But. I'm just witchy like that. LOL

    If the twit says anything again, tell him that his way of doing it is way off base. Interval training gets best results. Then give him your cutest smirk.

    :laugh: Well at least he's got 'stamina' in one area of his life!

    But seriously, when you go to the gym...you do it for yourself. Obviously that dingbat was there to show off. Brush him off and keep charging at the C25K!

    What a loser. It's sad that he tried tearing you down just so he could get an ego boost.

    Like a previous poster said, he probably has a small package.

    Omg, I just laughed so hard at his arrogance! I can't even believe the doucebaggery that goes on.

    I'm sorry he's a jerk and said something like that to you. Having also been working through C25k, I must admit that a comment like that is still one of my biggest fears. But I probably would have flown off the handle and got kicked out, lol.

    Way to go for handling it well, and don't let DBag affect your progress!

    this made me laugh!! I wouldn't of been able to keep my mouth shut!! So proud of you for that!! I don't ever say anything negative about anyone at the gym. If anything I try to help people try different things if I over hear them talking about not knowing how to do something or why something isn't working for them. He should of just kept his mouth shut unless you ask him his opinion.

    I once worked with a woman who had a neighbor who was not the nicest one out of the zoo. He started his rant 'n rave at her for no reason other than he didn't like her little pomeranian dogs. She just look him straight in the eyes and said, "Well in my years of professional experience, people with your horrible behavior are usually impotent." Then she just turned and walked away. He never yelled at her again. Lol.

    I completely understand working hard to better yourself. Why else would I be doing C25k? But once I am able to run 3 miles no problem, I will not go around saying egotistical bs to strangers.

    First, you should be proud of yourself…excellent job!! But he is too insignificant for you too be this upset about it. He is nothing, and means nothing in your world. I am going to assume he just has bad manners, but really, he is not worth this much effort. Let him congratulate himself, maybe it makes him feel better due to his other insecurities, but don’t allow it to dictate your day. Who knows, maybe he has a non-verbal learning disorder and is unable to express himself in a socially acceptable way…just a thought...we don't really know what is in peoples mind, I just don't want it to sour your progress towards your 5K.

    You are amazing and you are doing a great job on the c25k…keep up the good work.

    And that's great if he has - so have I and a million other people. BUT. I don't ridicule someone else to make myself feel better about my success.

    I would have been boiling too - but how awesome would it have been if you could have just burst out laughing, right in front of him! A huge BWAAAAH, HA, HA, HA!!! His tiny package would have shrunk even more! :laugh: Forget Mr. Rude - sounds like you're making great progress!
