I don't get anyone who runs saying you want to stop running because you think some runners act like asses. I would assume running isn't that important to you if how others act dictates wether or not you run. So why bother complaining that you want to stop? Just stop. I have to say, I don't care what Joe Blow has to say or how he acts. I don't know him or run with him. He has nothing to do with my life so I'll just keep on doing what I love and that's running.
This weird cult off elitism around running has made it so that I don't even tell people that I run. I'm embarrassed to be associated with these types of runners. Seriously, people aren't asking you about running because they care, they are being polite. The fact that runners actually believe that non-runners have a level of interest in the fact that our hobby is moving at a pace faster than walking is either indicative of way too much ego, or delusion resulting from insecurity.
Yes runners, please STFU about your running addictions. When people ask they are just being polite - they don't really want to hear you yap on about how you have to be up at 5 in the morning for your run.
This sounds so elitist I want to STOP running. Dear god, I mean, please, people need to get over themselves. No one is intimidated because someone else runs.
Don't mention that you run barefoot in the streets because they will launch into a tirade about how humans weren't meant to run and how you'll step on some glass. Instead tell them that you have shoes that relay real time information to you brain that lets you know when you are using bad form or stepping too hard etc...etc...Tell them you are running with the most advanced footwear ever.
Oh and I get most of it from my family "you had a hear murmur and asthma when you were a kid, be careful" my dad tells me or "God I watched the New York marathon on tv once and the marathon runners look really GROSS" - my sister. OK I tell them, I am going to have a heart attack and die or even worse yet I will end up with leather legs, oh scary! lol
HAHA with non-runners I always throw in the "yeah I like to actually run when it's about 40 and raining outside, but nipple chafing sure is a bitch" and they seriously look at me like "OH MY GOD" like I just stabbed a puppy or something lololol

So accurate and way too funny, especially the very last line.

Especially do not mention chafing. That's some sage advice right there.
