Absolutely yes!!
I gave a young lad a high five yesterday at Parkrun as I was approaching the finish line & flagging (he of course had finished.......😐) & it really made me smile. Still does just thinking about it. ☺

That's awesome. I had my first 'morning' and a smile from a fellow runner today too, it felt great!

It's just so encouraging.
And everyone on here is so supportive.
I'm already starting to feel like a 'runner'
That's fab! Most runners my way don't seem to go in for the wave and smile, maybe they are too intent on their work out?! 
I think that "proper runner" as you say includes you 
you have every right to be excited and proud
Thank you
