Running backwards?!

[Sybilw]

No, not literally of course, but the runner emoji! Am I the only one who is annoyed that they’re running in the wrong direction?! #firstworldproblems 🤣🤣🤣

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Yes literally Sybilw - especially if you’d seen me at the end of my 10k on Monday, when it felt as though I was going backwards and through treacle as well!!

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

There is that of course!! 🤣

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Obviously created by non runners, cyclists and skiers are the same 🤣🤣 happy backward running 🤗

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

I just feel bad adding it to a message when someone has done well!!

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Once seen though! 🤣

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

I was going to say exactly the same thing 🤣

[RunWillie Graduate10]

I’ve just started low heart rate training so it’s pretty spot on for me 😂🏃‍♀️

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to RunWillie]

In this heat too I’ll admit it’s appropriate!

Ha ha,in discussion with UpTheStanley this week I said I always run round canoe lake clockwise but he said he ran it the other way like an athletic track . So I don’t but he probably may ......

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I saw a post about always turning right last week! (Or was it left?!) You pair are ying and yang! Suited perfectly

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

😂😂

Reminds me of a time when He bought a flat pack wardrobe and after getting it in his car he had to find a route home with only left turns. Do not try this yourselves folks!

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

🤣🤣 In turn that reminds me of when we got our first car in the UK. I’d passed my test at 17 but only driven regularly in the USA (7 years later). Then a gap of a few years (kids are expensive!) so I felt rusty when we got one eventually. First trip out was left turns only!! I’d forgotten all about that.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

As a grammar pedant, little things like that emoji will now stick out like a sore thumb Sybil! I’ve noticed in the past, but it’s never bothered me - and now it will! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ (Arrgh, look how annoying it is!) 🤣😩

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Sorry 😐. Are you someone who read “Eats Shoots and Leaves”? I loved it!!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Oh yes, and me! 🤣

[Flattttt in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Film school...In the west, we read from left to right... so, If a character enters From off screen from the left is considered normal and entering from the right is lightly jarring. I’m not sure how often that is applied in modern films, but it is a known effect.
