Better for a run

Out running this morning it struck me how the little interaction to say “morning”or “hi” with a fellow runner may have so many hidden meanings:

Morning – yes we are runners – this is what we do!

Morning – it’s great to see another runner out at this hour on a Sunday morning!

Morning – you must just be running a 5k to look that good!

Morning – I’ve run 13 miles already which is why I look this tired!

Morning – those running shoes look so cool!

Morning – are you in my running club?!

Morning – are you the person who took my Strava segment?!

Morning – I’m on an Easy run!

Morning– I’m sure you sped up when you saw me!

Whatever thoughts are behind the greeting – it is cool to be acknowledged as you pound the pavements and trails.

Morning!
