Tuesday Topics: My running pet peeves

Tuesday Topics-226This week’s Tuesday Topic:  What are some of your running pet peeves?  You can write about this topic or post any running-related blog post.  Remember to link up with Jenn and Zenaida!  Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier!  Remember to come back for later linkers!

I’ve written about this topic before.  So now I will combine all of them into one post.  There are quite a few.  🤣 🤣 🤣

Here is what I wrote in previous posts.  

Runners that post their pace all of the time (Garmin, Strava, and RunKeeper, etc.) 

• Walkers that start in the front of a race.

• Runners that make sudden stops.

• Runners that take up the whole path.

• Dog owners that don’t leash their dogs. 

• Runners that blast their music.

• Runners that talk non stop during  a race. 

• Long lines at the port-a-potties.

• Running out of food or swag.

• People that honk or catcall while I’m out running.  

• Races that start late.

• People that spit.

• Shoe companies that think they are making their product better, but really they’re not.  Don’t change anything!

• Chafing and not realizing till taking a shower.

• An ugly shirt or one that does not fit properly.

• People that do not throw their water cups in the trash can.  Stop being lazy.  

• Races that do not have a refund or deferral option.  Worse is when there is an option, but you have to pay again.

• Spectators with signs saying that I am almost there.  No I’m not.  Don’t lie to me.

• When I want to hit the pause button on my Garmin and instead hit the lap button.

Next week is a FREE topic.  Feel free to write about any running-related topic.  We hope you’ll link up with us!

    So many good ones! I also don’t get why runners don’t use headphones instead of blasting their music.
    Funnily enough, I don’t mind people posting their paces after a race – I find that it’s part of the story.

      After a race, OK. After a run? And twice- Garmin and Strava? Nope.

    People that spit. I can go on record as saying this is a non-running pet peeve, too!

      So gross!

Thank you for your comment!

I was a late bloomer to this running craziness. One of my coworkers would always talk to me about… Read more ›
