At my daughter's track meet last weekend another parent commented how some of the kids "don't look like runners", that they expected them "to be tall and thin". The concept of what a runner looks like has been on the backburner of my mind for some time now. I'm sure I've eluded to it in previous posts, especially with regards to my own self image, but that comment, although an innocent musing, brought my ponderings to the front of my thoughts. What
should a runner's body look like?
Then I saw this image floating around the interwebs...
This pretty much sums it up for me. Whether you're tall or short; thick or thin; fast or slow; run on your feet, prosthetics, or compete on wheels; if you're out there, you are a runner. End of story.
