I was going to say kind of the same thing that Julie did, but add in one more thing. Here is my gym experience....I was totally embarrassed to join a gym years ago, but decided I needed to. There I was in my sweat pants and over sized t-shirt, while a lot of hard bodies were there encased in spandex. I was mortified the first few times I went there and then I discovered something. No one was paying attention to me. All the hard bodies were concerned about were themselves and basically only looked at themselves in the mirror! The few people that I did meet and talk to were people like me, over-weight middle aged women who were trying to better themselves and they thought it was great that I was there and I thought the same of them. Chances are that the runners are so focused on themselves, that they don't even notice their surroundings. I say...Good job! You should be very proud of what you're trying to accomplish! Everyday you are out there, you get stronger, fitter, and more confident! Keep at it and don't worry about what others MIGHT think! ( I know, easier said than done...but true )
