As a result, whenever I jog past someone, I grin like a loon.
It is amazing how many people don't smile back. So recently I've upped it a notch and I entertain myself by saying Hello or Good Afternoon to people as I go by.
Nothing.
Yesterday was Sunday so there were way more people on my usual route than normal. And only one person out of the twenty or so I went past responded.
Now I know I go a funny colour when I run, and I know that I should save my breath for the actual exercise, and I know most people around here are overweight and might think I am mocking them but seriously, a less than 5% response rate!?
Get a grip folks - make a connection - smile - respond to people around you. Yes, even the crazy jogger.
