Lately, the group run has seen a slight increase of runners. Some were new runners while the others are regular runners whom I have not ran with them before. This is certainly good news for running with others does make the sport more interesting.
.
For those who had ran with me for years, they will certainly know 1 thing about me, I don't talk nor chat while I ran. Reason is kind of obvious. I can't start a conversation due to lack of breath. I will tire easily once I start uttering words from my mouth. For those who not know of this, you may find me rude by not replying. Well, it's not that I didn't want to, it's just that I can't. Sometimes I will try, but not always. I apologies for this if you find me rude.
.
Some may also find me not replying back when I'm tired. I don't immediately reply back after completing a run as I'm still catching my breath. And just the past weekend, I was tired due to lack of rest. I was pretty stone and was slow in replying others and may even not notice a conversation.
.
However, during my runs, I will try my best possible to greet other runners by just simply waving to them. It's a running etiquette that I find easy to oblige.
.
So whether you are running with me or running past me, just remember that I'm simply a silent runner or pehaps one that is just simply out of breath.
