"She just did her first marathon last December!" That was my friend's introduction of me to another runner friend. She asked, "Oh! What was your time?" When I told her five and a half hour she said, "Not bad! But no offence, it's an average time for a first timer." Never quite know how to deal with a put down compliment. Defensively? Tactfully? Either way I would be at a loss for words. So I just smiled politely said, "None taken!" and continued running. Good thing I watched Bambi when I was small.
