While on my run yesterday I came across these two trashy looking 16-20 year old girls. With all the seriousness in the world one asked me "Do you have any cigarettes on you?" I paused for a little bit to make sure she was serious then I say "No, I'm kind of running... the two don't really mix." She goes "Ohhhh I guess that makes sense."
Addiction makes for some humorous conversations. What are the weirdest things you've heard while on a run?
Same here - my daughter & I were running together a few years ago and a random guy asked if we had cigarettes. "Sorry, dude, I forgot them this time..." :)
This one time during a race these girls that were cheering on the side said, "Good job!.....oh my God! His dick must be massive! Look at that thing bounce!"
After the race they came up to me to see if I had stuffed something in my shorts and jokingly I said "naaa but to know for sure you'd have to see for yourself."
She then pulled my shorts open peaked in and said, "woow!"
Gave me her number and said next time I'm in town to call her so she can "take it for a ride."
That tops my list of things said to me while running.
"You can't run for shit!"
response of my running buddy:
"Why would we run for shit?"
Response was what made that.
"Do you want to stop and f***?"
Man, she was an awesome running partner.
haha only the sexual stuff happens to people. Mine wasn't anything like girls seeing my package while running but i was in a small meet with a bunch of crappy runners so I looked beastly cruising at 16:25 pace and 2nd place was way way back. Anyway I run by 3 girls and one says "Hey sexy!" and I just smiled, then later on they were like "You have a great smile! You're so cute!" thats not as weird as the other stories. Another time i was running along a bridge and this old lady comes biking by and like freaks out and swerves and tells me that I have to wait until the bikes get over the bridge, haha it was weird.
Some 15 year old girls yelled out this dandy:
"CHICKEN F***ERS!!!!"
Still haven't figured that one out, as I'm pretty sure that's not even possible. Cluck
I used to live near the U-District in Seattle, which is full of drugged-out street urchins, just-released sex offenders and the like. I was out running at 5:00 AM and there was a group of these hood rats sitting on the porch of a boarded up house, doubtless had been drugging all night. One of them yelled out, 'Be sure to recover with some crack! It's good for you!'
During the summer i was running on a trail and came up to a water fountain i usually stop at to stretch and get water. Some guy who thinks he's buff without a shirt on,wearing basketball shorts, non-running athletic shoes and an ipod starts hitting on me, complementing on my body, how i look good in spandex etc. He then proceeds to ask for my number, but i gave him some random numbers instead. CREEPY!
One time someone yelled "run forrest run" to me. I just ignored them. Then I found five dollars.
Few weeks ago I was doing Mile repeats out on some local trails. This old guy walks up to me and started talking to me; the conversation went something like this:
Old guy- "I used to be able to run like that"
me- "oh ya?"
Old guy- "Not anymore though, Im old. Today's actually my birthday though, how old do you think I am?"
me- "uhh, 70?"
Old guy- " Just turned 80 years old today... and guess what?"
me- "uhh what?"
Old guy-" I got myself a 21 year old piece of pussy last night, cutest little blonde thing you ever seen... And got me a 23 year old lined up tonight...."
me- " nice man, good for you... uhh, I gotta run...."
.... this made my last mile repeat easier... lol

Que every girl in this thread's story being hit on by a creep. It's the only thing that happens to chicks... they never get the garbled tinfoil hat garbage dudes get to hear. Of course dudes always get the fagg0tt comments so it's equal to a degree. But I feel sorry for girls, they never get to hear truly hilarious comments that aren't sexualized.
...you're pretty fast for someone that does not run for a club...
Running at 5am from the gym towards a not so nice part of the city when I hear, "I hear runners make way better lovers, Can I try you out at find out." I looked to my right and saw a 200+ hooker. I did not answer, but I did start to sprint! I knew I would be safe because she could not catch me. True story circa 1992.

From a homeless guy in Golden Gate Park during a tempo: "You're only running from yourself." I've gone back and forth between taking the literal and figurative meanings, but either way it improved my day.

This should replace the Let's Run motto.
I don't know if it's the weirdest, but I'll tell it anyway. I'm in my late 30's, teach, & coach H.S. XC. After practice this past August, I was doing the workout that my athletes did (tempo run on the track). One of my runners was hanging out, helping with my splits, etc. An old man came to powerwalk on the track & asked my runner if I was trying to make the H.S. team. My runner said, "No, that's the coach!" It made me feel good that someone that I was that young!
"Want a drag of my cigarette?"
This was at 6:45 on a Monday morning.
I don't really know how to type this, but something like:
"hiori ska eanai ohn."
Yesterday from a friend's mom who lives right next to the track. She's old, Okinawan, and has a speech impediment. She sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher. Usually I can understand her, but it's challenge sometimes.
Just funny sometimes, but she's a nice lady, and lonely. People can't believe that she comes up and talks to me, and I talk back.
