Well, this is the problem, too, is because I've had a couple of times where I've like really freaked people out. And then I feel terrible because they literally will like jump and scream as if I've like tried to attack them as I'm like a barely above five foot tall woman coming up behind.

Yeah, definitely a little bit less clomping and maybe not breathing quite as heavy. So, yeah, it's especially at night. It gets pretty easy to like unintentionally sneak up on people. I typically like to announce myself wherever I go. So when I'm coming up behind, I'm like, excuse me, Olympic bronze medalist coming up behind.

Trust me, I like anything that plays on my own narcissism. So I feel like I could use that like a cowbell coming up behind people and just like clink it a little bit.

And be like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. My metal is so loud.

You are completely right. The species of man who hates being overtaken by a jogging stroller equally hates being overtaken by a woman. And so I've had many times, specifically on the river path in Boston, of passing these alpha males and then you start a subtle yo-yo effect where they then start sprinting in order to pass you again until they inevitably collapse in a heap afterwards.

So, yeah, I would definitely say it can be annoying sometimes, but it's also fun.

No, they'll sometimes I am not even joking with this one. I had a guy who said out loud, I'm done with my run here. Like obviously not because we were at least two miles from any like realistic stopping or starting point, but just that he felt the need to have to say of like, Oh yeah, I'm actually was planning on stopping here rather than just like throwing up because I've been going so hard.

That,

Generally, I will try to call out. Just calling out in some sort of way, I feel like, is the very polite thing to do.

I feel like I would love a shoe. Do you remember the light-up shoes that you may have had as kids? I feel like something like that, but adding in a feature where it actually, like,

Yeah, exactly. But maybe something like fancier, like a cute charm with a bell on it. But then imagine if people like you get a lot of those people together and then it would just be a deafening noise. You can never talk to your running partners.

Yeah. Oh, my. Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry. I can't hear you over this bell.

Please keep telling me about your on again, off again boyfriend that you keep breaking up with.
