Run forest, run!

Post by boothgraeme »

Hey guys. New to adding to the forum but have been reading on and off for the past couple of months.

Some kid shouted, "Run forest, run" at me while i was running last night, this is the fourth time this has happened in the past 2 months. So i decided to hold a poll to see if this happened to other people or just to me!!!

Also if anyone has or can think of some witty reply that i can shout back at them that would be most appreciated!

Cheers!

Happens to me sometimes - I give 'em the finger and carry on running. I'd like to see them keep up. :lol:

Someone shouted at me the other day: "You can stop now, they already caught him!". Well, that in dutch anyway. Thought it was pretty funny.

It does happen but if you turn around and run at them they stop and run for their lives. Little bastards. :snipersmile:

I never had that happen to me actually. Perhaps a little town of 15000 folks is different in Canada compared to the same in England. Well, I suppose I will find out in a month.

But you can't let those sort of things bother you. Would you rather be an obese f**ker, or a fit one joining the RM? Not a choice I have to deliberate much on, lots of laugh!

Cheers, Brent

Get it all the time, just don't react to them!

Have had a few try to show me they can run better than me. :o They start running along side, and i just slowly turn up the pace.

It's hillarious watching them blow up after a few hundrad meters and i'm only just reaching my 5 minute mile pace. :D

Had one lad throw up he was trying so hard to keep up, he didn't look to good to his mates when he stopped 8)

Yeah, I've had various bits of abuse but I've occasionally had people cheering me on too, at least it makes the run more interesting.

On my 3 mile route I run past a common where there are always these teenagers hanging around. Everytime I run past it they clap and shout motivational chants at me. It always brings a smile to my face.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... 'F*ck, what a trip!'

These days the kids are too stoned to notice anyone running past them. Used to get 118-118 shouted at me. No harm by it though. Only the twats who think its good to try and trip you up or throw things at you that does my head in.

It does'nt bother me unless they are being really rude, in such cases
I stop and say:

God!?!? I've never had that before, I got (from a fat builder) get the bus its faster :roll:, my reply being, not in this country it isn’t, seemed to confuddle him a bit, but most of my routes are through forests, or generally out of site by the public, I can also choose the best time to run when the streets are clear, being a "lazy student type" :lol:
