Absolutely HAB

I have never been a runner. I still don’t consider myself one after 6 months.

Yes, there are lots of types of people that participate in 5ks. I am not going to get into race management (all you do is coordinate races, why are there always delays?!) or into the walkers (seriously?, you are starting in the front - go back to my race management complaint).

I will share with you the 5 people that annoy me.

1. Stroller woman. This woman is all about running. She doesn’t just pass me, but I am in her dust. I’m  jealous because she is really fit and can push an additional 30 lbs. (as I try to shed 30 lbs.)  Okay, so you can run faster than me, but really strollers are NOT appropriate for a race. Get a babysitter.
2. Ah, the man wearing a 1990’s warm up suit. It was probably 1992 the last time you ran, but you still pass me, and I am jealous.
3. The woman who runs by me while saying “I really need to quit smoking.” I hate you right now. I am at mile two, I don’t smoke and am having a hard time breathing. Really?
4. The man who is wearing jeans, khaki colored mind you, and passes me. I thought I was wearing high performance spandex. Obviously, I just need to put on my Levi’s.
5. The woman carrying her dog. Yes, it is only a 5 lb thing, but seriously. You and your little rat just passed me. Ugh.

Are there others that annoy you?
