LazyDaisy Feb 2020 5:48pm, 13 Feb 2020 29,198 posts	0 LazyDaisy Rae I feel your pain. When I mentioned to a non-running friend that I was training for my first marathon she couldn't get her head round the fact that I was doing it for 'fun' and not to fundraise.

TRO Saracen Feb 2020 8:19pm, 13 Feb 2020 20,491 posts	0 TRO Saracen Feel your pain LD. I’ve been asked several times ‘who am I doing xxx for’. Best answer is ‘er......me’. And Rae, fundraising shudder the dreaded walk through the office badgering people with everyone ignoring you and hoping you’ll go away...
MsG Feb 2020 9:24pm, 13 Feb 2020 1,402 posts	0 MsG Someone I work with told me they did fundraising for the marathons they've run because "it was selfish to run them for themselves". Which I found baffling as they were running them (overseas) because they wanted to anyway. Why justify it with fundraising? I've got fed up with giving people money to run London (others are available) every year. who then complain about the training. If they're that keen on giving money to charity, why not commit a % of their salary each year and stop bothering me. ION bike commuting was done. Both ways. Horrible head/crosswind on the way in. Leaning sideways type. Hmph.
Gobi Feb 2020 9:35am, 14 Feb 2020 68,582 posts	0 Gobi Upset a fund raiser by trying to motivate them to run faster. Offered tiered sponsorship to motivate training Sorry but no I'm not impressed by your 6hour marathon done of debatable training when all you did was moan ! Rest morning here so stayed in bed for an extra 75 mins
