I'm in the club!!! No I don't mean I'm pregnant 🀣

A fairly uneventful runette today, I took a new route so that was fun. Got overtaken by a gazelle, recurring theme here, but this particular gazelle gave me nod and a hello 😲 so I'm sure makes me a runner. Woo hoo x

Happy Friday everyone and here's to a fabulous weekend 🍻πŸ₯‚

That's so awesome! I love when I get a head nod, little wave or a hello. Today was one of our first really nice days and I saw quite a few runners (which is unusual normally). I got a friendly little smile and slight wave, I got big smile and hello followed by the complete ignore, can't look at you, won't say Hi, I'm trying to run here with the next person πŸ˜‚. In her defence, she was quite red and maybe was putting all her effort into her run. And that was all in the first 10 minutes πŸ˜†. Then I didn't see any more runners but passed a few walkers where I always give a smile and slight wave. Welcome to the Running Club, one of the friendliest groups out there 😊

Thanks SA. Yes the dog walkers are generally a smiley bunch and I'll smile at anyone, not sure if it comes out as a grimace sometimes πŸ˜‚

I think the gazelles are normally going so fast they probably dont see me! Maybe I need a snazzyier outfit rather than my head to toe black πŸ€”

I say hello to everyone, just because I can, even when I'm running and I think that's amazing!!!

You get all sorts when running. Keep waving, nodding, saying hello... You'll soon wear down the grumpy ones!

Hehe I do that with walkers when out for a stroll. If they look grumpy I give them an extra sunny "morning". I'm working up to being sunny when running lol x

That wee head nod can be give the biggest boost in motivation, I love give a head nod to fellow runners an "alright" xx

Yes they are very much appreciated :)

I passed a lady today who looked liked she may be on c25k (defo not a gazelle) and I really wanted to stop the car, hug her and say good on you but I think I could get arrested for that!
