And whether it's a run at 4 am or 10 pm or 1 pm (people quit hating on SAHMs)... or whether it's some other skill you have. <br /><br />But yeah. I know a few bloggers who brag about how early they get up to work out, and I am... not impressed. LOL. One even went so far as to say "while you were all sleeping" and most commenters called them out on it. <br /><br />Related to in person conversations, most people already don't like to hear about others working out, and to emphasize how early it is makes it seem inaccessible. IMHO. Just thinking out loud, as I think about exercise adherence and all that jazz. When I talk about exercise (honestly, rarely to people who don't - they don't give a sh*t) I talk about how fun and rewarding it is, and how great it makes me feel.

Pretty darn special.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04236957100019703379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-36433936331651823802013-07-11T01:52:03.768-04:002013-07-11T01:52:03.768-04:00You DO deserve a medal, and the right to sing out ...You DO deserve a medal, and the right to sing out loud your accomplishments any time you feel like it! We all do! Because we're doing the best we can to be our best, as athletes, moms, employees, etc, etc. There are no small victories, only YOUR victories, whether it be getting up at 5am to run 8 miles or getting up at 6am to do your second run ever with the jogging stroller and make it a whole 32 minutes without dying (AHEM, like I did this morning, whoop whoop!) I love hearing other people "brag" about their accomplishments, personally. We could probably inspire each other a lot more if everyone just stopped being so competitive!Kathleen Ojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05437979349532096085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-69371367274636014422013-07-10T22:57:59.971-04:002013-07-10T22:57:59.971-04:00I've thought about this, too - how my getting ...I've thought about this, too - how my getting up and running or how me running as a mom is not that special, really. But how it's also actually really special and different. It's a balance, for me, of feeling proud of myself but not feeling like I'm therefore somehow better than others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-84405110303792590012013-07-10T16:03:55.926-04:002013-07-10T16:03:55.926-04:00Love this post!!
