I have a love (besides Husband) (oh and chocolate).
It involves both of my feet.
And many, many miles.
Many laugh at this love I have because they think I am clearly insane. But I know better.
Most do not understand how I can love it mile after mile after mile. But I do.
I've even competed a couple of times (half-way, that is). But competed nonetheless.
Yes, this love I have is running. Running mile after mile after glorious mile.
When one looks at me, they don't immediately think, "Oh she's a runner." Instead, they probably think, "Oh, she needs a diet."
But, nonetheless, it is a passion of mine and I've competed in two half-marathons and loved every minute of it. Well, maybe there were a few minutes when I was saying what (breathe, breathe) have you (breathe, breathe) gotten (breathe, breathe) yourself into? But, all in all, I love the sport and plan to someday run an entire marathon.
Here's a photo to prove that love as I run on a frigid March morning last year in a a race at our state's capitol. Yes, that's me in all black spandex. I should be listening to Johnny Cash, don't you think?
So what love do you have that others laugh at you for?

I have no doubt that you WILL run a full marathon some day. I admire your passion for the sport you love. You would have to love it to perservere! Love you!
Well. Nothing that involves exercise.
I believe my adoration of motor sports has been well documented.
I am a fully trained and license Jazzercise instructor.
To the great disappointment of my friends, I did not receive complimentary leg warmers or side pony tails when I started teaching.
I enjoy singing and dancing...
Most of my friends laugh while they hear or see me doing either of these!!!
LOL!!
