W3R2 done - Faux Pas?

Really pleased to have completed this without any trouble - tho last bit of run was slightly uphill, poor planning on my part!

Where I run I have never seen anyone else running until today. Crossed paths with another runner - both of us v similarly dressed, requisite earbuds etc - and I smiled - she didn't. Maybe we are not meant to acknowledge other runners (distracting?) - not sure of the etiquette as new to this game!

Interested to read what answers you get, everyone I've come across has always been very friendly and smiley .... maybe they're amused by my efforts 😂

I run along the seafront in Bournemouth, and normally pass half a dozen other runners - there are some who are so "in the zone" that they don't acknowledge you, but most of the time, there's at least a smile, if not a "good morning" - there's definitely a bit of a running camaraderie going on!

I found exactly the same as Bally, some are really concentrating but most give a little smile or nod in my experience.

I'm in Canada. I always smile and if they maintain eye contact I say hello as we pass. Sometimes other people aren't friendly so they look down before I can say hello, and one time I was the one who didn't smile or say anything as I was at the end of a tough run. Give the benefit of the doubt and keep smiling and being yourself!
