Amazing! I also do not understand why some people are so grumpy, I always beam and say hello, no matter how much pain I am in! Ah well, its always lovely when we find the ones who do shout hello! :)

I agree totally re the rude runners/ passers by! I seem to have been really lucky in this respect....most people smile / wave / say hi....of course it feels encouraging and in no small way motivates me to keep going.

Great run and so disciplined!! Some people can be very rude I ran past 3 lady runners the other day I smiled and waved - completely blanked!! Good luck with the rest of your training - not that you need it Forest Gump!! (hope that doesn't offend! ) massive respect ;)

Here in France no one will smile or say hello. I havebeen here for 20 years this month and I still find them a lot less friendly and helpful in the street.
