Do not judge. You don't know their life or challenges.<br /><br />On another note, this post was composed when I was writing a LOT! It's apparent to me in how it flows. I want this back and understand the practice that must go into it.

We don't know her personally. I'm sure, to those who know her, she's far from what she portrays. Some people are and some people aren't. Some people, you get what you get. I find that refreshing most of the time. Pretending all the time is hard and no one gets to know the real you that way. <br /><br />Thanks!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04841767868797265391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575124099588454367.post-66172800589141900242013-11-07T09:40:13.228-06:002013-11-07T09:40:13.228-06:00I could never run that far.

Pam is one of those for many people. She cultivated that dumb sexy blonde bombshell image, and unfortunately she gets some blowback for it. I agree with the above, that it was quite right of you to pull back on your initial reaction and reassess. That's really all we can do. Everybody judges. It seems to be an inherently human trait.

That's where my judgment started. The slow comment was part of my own nasty slide. I run/workout a lot so it didn't begin out of envy or her pace. I would never even attempt a marathon for several reasons. Mostly due to lack of desire and my body wouldn't hold up. Frankly, I could not do it!<br /><br />Kudos to Pam.
