This week’s Tuesday Topic: What are some of your running pet peeves? You can write about this topic or post any running-related blog post. Remember to link up with Jenn and Zenaida! Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier! Remember to come back for later linkers!
I’ve written about this topic before. So now I will combine all of them into one post. There are quite a few. 🤣 🤣 🤣
Here is what I wrote in previous posts.
• Runners that post their pace all of the time (Garmin, Strava, and RunKeeper, etc.)
• Walkers that start in the front of a race.
• Runners that make sudden stops.
• Runners that take up the whole path.
• Dog owners that don’t leash their dogs.
• Runners that blast their music.
• Runners that talk non stop during a race.
• Long lines at the port-a-potties.
• Running out of food or swag.
• People that honk or catcall while I’m out running.
• Races that start late.
• People that spit.
• Shoe companies that think they are making their product better, but really they’re not. Don’t change anything!
• Chafing and not realizing till taking a shower.
• An ugly shirt or one that does not fit properly.
• People that do not throw their water cups in the trash can. Stop being lazy.
• Races that do not have a refund or deferral option. Worse is when there is an option, but you have to pay again.
• Spectators with signs saying that I am almost there. No I’m not. Don’t lie to me.
• When I want to hit the pause button on my Garmin and instead hit the lap button.
Next week is a FREE topic. Feel free to write about any running-related topic. We hope you’ll link up with us!
Yes on each one of these.
We think alike!
So many good ones! I also don’t get why runners don’t use headphones instead of blasting their music.
Funnily enough, I don’t mind people posting their paces after a race – I find that it’s part of the story.
After a race, OK. After a run? And twice- Garmin and Strava? Nope.
People that spit. I can go on record as saying this is a non-running pet peeve, too!
So gross!
