Just thought I'd let you all know what happened last week while I was doing a 30 min run after work. I had turned and was heading back towards home and saw a guy running along the pavement on the other side of the road. He looked fit and a lot faster than me and HE WAVED AT ME!!! Just after he'd passed I saw another guy running, also fit and faster than me and HE WAVED AT ME!!! Ooooooooooooh it made me smile and feel so good and I was beaming all the way home!

I think being waved at/acknowldged should be right up there as one of those things that makes you a "proper" runner

I love the acknowledgement I get from fellow runners - makes me feel like one of the gang!

Exactly the same happened to me tonight! It was raining pretty hard and I was soaked and 2 lovely guys came running towards me, grinned and waved to this other crazy runner in the rain 
It really makes you feel part of their club and it's obvious that only a "real" runner would be out in such weather with big grins on their faces 
Just love the feeling!

Agreed, it was definitely the moment which made me feel like a proper runner. Enjoy that high Isabella!

Thanks for the comments guys. It was a lovely feeling and one I'll always look back on with a smile on my face.
