I was finishing my second run of the day, hurrying up to make it home so my girlfriend and I could go out to dinner. In my hurry, and in a new pair of shoes, and with a coffee flavored goo in my system (2x caffeine fully kicked in), and trying to beat a biker up a hill, I passed two runners coming in the opposite direction.

One of them yelled "Slow down!"

What the hell is wrong with people? I wasn't running 60 second pace, I was running 5:30 mile pace. I don't find it ridiculous that someone would yell "slow down;" what I find ridiculous is that it was another runner (much more snazzily dressed than me) who said it. Sometimes I want to beat people up.

Thanks for reading my rant.

re: night runner

I personally would have thought it was just a playful comment/joke, but I didn't hear the tone. They sounded dead serious?

re: night runner

Look, I've heard this before, too. Just let it go. Did you make it home in time for dinner? Did you make it home in enough time to post this before going out to dinner? Did you talk about this incident at dinner with your girlfriend?

re: TIZZLE WIZZLE

people are so inceredibly unoriginal when yelling at runners. here are some comments i've heard, and rated on a scale from 10 (not at all original) to 1 (even less original)

"FAG!"

calling me a homosexual wont make me not wear booty shorts

"PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!"

you being a fat ass and me being in shape doesn't make me feel bad enough to put on a shirt

"RUN FASTER!"

why do you think i'm running in the first place? assholes

"Run Forest! RUUUN!"

-22

This one takes the cake. if someone yells something at me, 9 times outta 10, its this. f*** you idiots

thats pretty much the 4 things that i get yelled at me all the time. its astoundingly unoriginal. anyone else got any?

How can you be a serious runner and still care about stuff like that?
