just talk it up a little wrote:
Guys, at least don't do the creepy silent chaser thing. You're freaking chicks out.
LOL!!!
I was running up the Mount Vernon trail towards the airport one day, and a girl came flying down the "Y" in the trail right after you go under the memorial bridge, where runners merge onto the trail from Arlington National, and I was surprised at how fast she was running.
She looked at me and asked me if she could talk to me for a second, as i said sure, and we both slowed down, a group of 3 older men came around the turn all red-faced and out of breath.
When they saw me talking to her they slowed down and ran by us.
She told me they had been following her very closely for the last 3 miles, and she was scared. When they were out of sight she thanked me and went the other direction, towards Rosslyn.
When I came up beside the men, they were talking about her shorts.
When they saw me, they got really quiet b/c I guess they thought I was her boyfriend or something.
Anyway, I must not look very threatening. Maybe I should grow a handlebar mustache or something.
