I do feel like I’ve joined a “club” even if I don’t quite fit the bill just yet. I just did a Ragnar Relay in Utah in June – having only been a runner for 6 months. The encouragement and friendliness of the other runners was actually so great, it surprised me AND it really helped me get through it.
So, you meanies? Stop it!

My best friend and I train together, and we have remarked on unfriendly runners thousands of times. The real head-scratcher is that oftentimes, these people STARE YOU DOWN. Generally, eye contact is an invitation for communication. Apparently this isn’t true for everyone. Please keep being a friendly runner. You’re not alone. Yeah, WE understand!
