I’ve already made a pact with myself (and some other bloggers) that next year, we’ll go to BiSC. Are you joining us?

I love this post. It’s exactly how I feel at five foot three. I love never being taller than my boyfriend, and I can make a scene like someone six foot tall. But also, I hate how people always remind me of how short I am. Do people pat your head? They do mine, but I’m never sure if it’s because I’m short or if it’s because I’m a ginger.

I’m short. I’m barely 5’1″ and after 27 years I’m over the short jokes. I don’t know if people think I haven’t heard them before or what, but enough.

It’s like constantly reminding someone that their face is asymmetrical or they have a stupid haircut. People would think I’m mean if I did that. But holding something up high and telling me to “reach” for it or “jump” is just as ignorant.

I realize that I’m possibly overreacting, but I’m just so tired of attention being drawn to my shortness. And half the time it’s by people who are like 1-2 inches taller than me. Those people need to chill.

Growing up out in farm country where it seems everyone is tall, at 5’5″ I was the short girl and can totally relate to being the short one. Also, little dogs freak me out, I’m terrified I’m going to step on one and it’s going to attack me or jump up and grab my jugular. What? Little dogs have some ups. If a Panda was to take a swipe at me I’d see it coming!

Haha! This made me giggle. Also because I just finished reading Life of Pi which is all about how dangerous tigers are and I was all: “STEP AWAY FROM THE TIGER ASHLEY.

Even though we met in person, Katelin, for some reason I didn’t remember you being so close to my height. I need to remember who the members of the tall girls club are.

And I am taller than people expect. They don’t realize it until I am standing right next to them.

I just ran my first 5k last weekend, and I definitely walked some of it – you don’t need to run the entire distance straight through for it to count as a successful race!

You can do it! But don’t stress out or compare yourself to anyone else. This is about you accomplishing something awesome. Which you will. Comparison is the thief of all joy. So focus on you and enjoy this race!
