i was out with my training partner this morning, a female, whose a good, friend we were doing a gentle pace through an estate when we passed some newly built houses with workmen outside on a coffee break, now my friend, she wont mind me saying this, well i hope not is a good looking gal and as we went past we had 'Get Ya Tits out mrs' and 'you want ta watch ya don't get an Injury Love' i felt my firend was very low key with her response sticking two fingers up and shouting Dick***ds back. i was tempted to go back but she stopped me.
i gather that 'you're going the wrong way' is a common one to anyone out running on the day of FLM and not in the race itself.
on one of my very first runs outside (and it took me a long time believe me) a lovely old chap asked me 'broken any records today love?'. i was quite chuffed
simon - i must remind myself to take my running gear when i next go to visit my parents (just outside luton.) beer is definitely a different kind of energy drink!
One night last week my husband and I were greeted with "GET A F*~^ING LIFE!". This was delivered from a, shall we say, rotund gentleman (!) as he sped past in a car. Nice huh!
Yes, Run Forset Run thats a popular one amongst the kids to shout . I used to live in Prague and when I went out running I experienced people in cars slowing down and shouting things at you but as I dont speak a word of the lingo I had no idea what they saying, maybe it was run forest run but in Czech! The best one was once I had bonkers old lady march towards me doing a funny speed walk and flapping her arms about chanting "run run run"
On a break in Prague - got a few 'stupid englishman' looks from old ladies as I ran up the Jewish quarter hill at 8am! - what a lovely morning run over the Charles Bridge though!!
When we were doubling back past a pub - a bloke drinking outside said - 'move on - you are making me feel guilty!'
1x"do a couple of miles for me" by a 20+ stone man smoking a fag
and today
"morning Forest"
In France last September at grape harvest time in Champagne
Lots of abuse(or maybe encouragement) from farmers on tractors and lots of definite abuse and hand gestures from some of the hundreds of migrant workers on camp sites by the sides of the roads.
Out wednesday night and as I was running uphill, 2 lads were free-wheeling downhill on their bikes and as they got nearer heard one of them shout "50 points if ya get 'er". Then did a slight turn as if to come towards me, but didn't get that close. Nice.

if I wanted any sexual harassment!!!
SO they had manners to ask if it is ok to harass you? LOL

We had tonight (I take out our local Womens Running Network Beginners Group)
A group a 20/30 yr old blokes all eating kebabs just come out of the pub....Wait for it
"do yeh know what? Thats what I should be doing, a bit of that, running, instead of this"
Now the faster among you wouldn't have heard more than "do yeah know what" but it was nice to hear.
Not had anything but good mornings this year, very pleasant.
Last year had
'bounce, bounce, bounce' from 2 schoolgirls
'run forest run' from schoolboys
1 person let their dog go for me, even though on a lead and easily to control the b*****ds
2 lots of beep from passing cars
I've had :
Young Chav 1 - ' Have you got a fag I can borrow ? '
Young Chav 2 to Young Chav 1- ' Does she look like she's got a fag, you stupid get ? '
And a rather unimaginative :
'Your arse is too fat for those trousers '
I was also asked :
' Do you want a go on my spliff ? '
I declined.
1 x "You must be mad"
1 x little oik trying to race me, until he fell over
3 x random shouting from moving cars
That said, plenty of good mornings/afternoons

So far this year
1x "you must be very fit"
@er"
1x"do a couple of miles for me" by a 20+ stone man smoking a fag
and today
"morning Forest"

@er" ??????????
Lorry - what does that mean?
Plodding On
I wonder????
No really - I can guess the first word, but I keep thinking the second one is "Tigger"
That can't be right...
Plodding
I think it was Topper
Ah with two esses?
Go it in one
I get my fair share of 'older generation' shouting words of encouragement "go on love", "keep going, you can do it" - very sweet.
And got called an "exercise freak" to my great delight by, yes you guessed it, a fat couple.
Thread hijack....
sorry
I've had...
The rocky theme tune sung by a builder, so i told him to f**k off and keep building his sandcastles...never bothered me again...
If you have played rugby you know how to deal with that! '
But I might have twisted my ankle if I'd trampled him... anyway 'the stare' moved him!
'Get a life!'
You should have told him you were getting one: part of his.
From some youths hanging around a bus stop two nights ago
"move it you fat cows"
witty eh?

Noooo???????
You gotta carry a big stick with you and if they do it again, just throw it into their spokes.
Entertainment value = 50 points
Thus far:
1 x You must be f**kin' freezin'
1 x McDonalds drink thrown from passing car (missed, just)
Definitely worth more Dara.
Get them back next time.
