Keeping up the Stereotypes

(My wife's friend is a pretty fast runner. She does half-marathons.
Has never run trails. I convinced her to go run trails with my wife.
The poor woman fell and got 11 stitches. Woops.)

PW, is your sig line coincidental, or did your wife write that for you after the fall ?

It's coincidental.

What's the eye roll for? I'm not sure I'm catching the conclusion you've drawn.

I related that anecdote to poke fun at the reality distortion field that some crazy runners project. The same reality distortion field that pulled me into ultras in the first place. It's basically a cliche. Wasn't intending to judge or laugh at anyone, except maybe myself.

The stitched woman is already raring to get back on the trails. I've no doubt she'll adjust quickly and become one of the best tail runners in town if she wants to. She's a personable, super driven and successful person.
