Drivers beeping at runners. I just DO NOT get it. On my 5 mile run last night I encountered several beepers. One was my girlfriend, Molly, beeping to wave and say hi. THREE others, I did not know. WHY DO THEY DO THIS? Are they beeping to encourage me? Are they beeping because they think I run funny? Are they beeping because they think they know me? Are they trying to hit on me? Are they beeping to warn me of something chasing me? WELL STOP! It's obnoxious to hear beeping and turn my head to try and see who it is, and then get all out of sync. I wish people would focus on driving, rather than runners and walkers on the side of the road.
Okay. Now that I got that out of my system:
-During yesterday's run, I decided that I would like everyone on my routes to turn on their sprinklers and place them close to the sidewalk for my convenience. It was brutally hot and humid- I was lucky enough to encounter three sprinklers turned on and so naturally, I ran through them, and it was amazing.
-I really need to figure out a water situation for longer runs.
-I'm getting really anxious already for my first 5k race in two weeks, the Red Dress Run for Women in West Hartford, CT. I knew my anxiety would be bad but I didn't think it'd start this far ahead of races! I keep reminding myself that this 5k is supposed to be a FUN run, not supposed to stress me out!
What do you think about people who beep at runners/walkers?
-They really drive me nuts, unless it's a friend beeping to say hi.
The one thing you are most excited for this weekend:
