People just aren't used to it. Anyone living in Reno during the 70s became familiar with "The Waver"--a guy who walked everywhere and waved at every passing car.

I think his job is available if you're interested. :-)Evannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-1583381821271772282010-03-04T06:49:21.932-08:002010-03-04T06:49:21.932-08:00It's a California thing.

Here, complete strangers will strike-up a conversation with you.

I run alone so want to hear if something is after me. and of course in a race I want to know when another running is coming up so they can pass.<br />No all people who wear ipods are a-holes.<br /><br />Thanks for all the comments everyone.<br />Hey Sunshine girl see you on thursday night at bowling ;-)Catrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00009441300980173501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-87200273142131536152010-03-03T09:14:10.527-08:002010-03-03T09:14:10.527-08:00Positive vibes ====> YouPositive vibes ====> YouSnakebitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879428992616238833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-34551245062318547952010-03-03T04:18:48.896-08:002010-03-03T04:18:48.896-08:00Hi Catra,

One of my pet peeves are runners or walkers who ignore greetings I make as I go about my run. <br />That is second only to my annoyance of people wearing earphones while running or walking. It is like wearing a sign saying "Don't bother talking to me". It is pervasive these days, in gyms, running walking, what has happened to us!<br />I'll always say hi and actually smile when I run, it doesn't cost anything.<br /><br />NeilNeil Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13926115088460674946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-29458543484860163392010-03-02T18:34:02.101-08:002010-03-02T18:34:02.101-08:00Huge pet peeve for me too!

Just don't think of Shutter Island when you start at 11:00PM.

I've been increasing my miles so my average normal run is 9-miles and my weekend runs are 20+ miles but I am always wrecked after the long runs.<br /><br />At any rate, keep saying hello and know that it's the right thing to do. At the end of the day, I'm sure some of those who did not say say "hi" back will questions themselves as to why they didn't and they'll start. So, you did make a difference in their lives. Does that make sense?<br /><br />All the best this weekend.<br /><br />RonPunkRockRunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532411836716339642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-61243784719415888402010-03-02T04:50:56.781-08:002010-03-02T04:50:56.781-08:00Good vibes are on your way already.

Maybe since there are so many people hiking Mission their faces get tired from smiling too much. Now that is sad.<br /><br />Have fun this Fri.Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005438284707424779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-90744005679634521932010-03-01T22:39:13.291-08:002010-03-01T22:39:13.291-08:00Totally agree with you about the smiling!

I must run at a pretty cool place, because I get "hello's" from about 95% of the people. There are those people, it's kinda odd, that look down at the ground when they pass. Perhaps it is an extreme case of shyness.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538884619777387595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-8085222372694453872010-03-01T21:04:08.267-08:002010-03-01T21:04:08.267-08:00Short, compact and BUFF!

I'm sorry that some people are so rude. I live in a gated community and am always surprised when my own neighbors don't wave or smile. I agree that it doesn't take much effort to display a little kindness. Therefore, I say to you smiling that I hope your run is amazing this weekend.KGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060054170959154870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-84204019985783779382010-03-01T19:56:10.299-08:002010-03-01T19:56:10.299-08:00Agree w/you Catra.
