tired yet fatty?
I've been jogging in the afternoons and have a pack of kids that follow me during my jog. Basically, I'm just jogging circles on the soccer field for about 20 minutes, no big deal.
The kids make me laugh though when they say, "Aren't you tired yet fatty? You can't jog this long." I tell them that 20 minutes is nothing compared to the half marathons my friend Greg in Chicago runs.
The fatty comment? Females come in two sizes, flaca or gorda. Since I'm not skinny, I naturally fall into the fat category. It's semi-refreshing to hear people be honest with you rather than hear "No, you don't look fat in that dress..." as they whisper about you looking like a stuffed sausage to their friends. But it's something that I'm not quite used to hearing from total strangers yet. If I beat them in a race though, that generally shuts them up. I'm becoming a real jerk, right?

You should be happy you have a security detail following you around when you run, just like a US President. Your detail differs from Clinton in that you don't end up at a McDonald's before the run is over. It also differs from Bush's in that you aren't ducking foreign objects being thrown at you.

That's brave of you. I remember running at an athletic field near my home a while back and some punk-ass 7 year old made a smart-assed remark. I never went back to run in that place again. I should have just run the pudgy little punk down like he was a feral human in a Planet of the Apes movie...but what would that have made me?
Kit-Kat, the only way to shut kids up is to humiliate them in public; a tried and true technique. There's no risk in being a jerk when small children fear you; it's nature.
That's why kids have potatoes to run home to.
