Howdy, Stranger!

Thames Towpath
Now that the nights are lighter it appears that many runners have woken from their hibernation in the gyms and enjoying the outdoors.
Whilst it is good to see all these new faces on my runs along the towpath in the evening has anyone else noticed that they fail to realize that it is common courtesy to acknowlege ones fellow runners. Just a thumbs up, wry smile or nod is needed - perhaps even a hello or alright.
Has any one else noticed this?

This was a distance of about 130 miles which we ran in relay over a weekend in July.
We found people along the towpath most couteous and polite, and had an enjoyable weekend (with a pint or two consume in the evenings.)
What's more interesting is the way things change according to the time of day. When I run early in the morning (say before 9am), everyone, including non-runners, say hello. As the day goes on, runners will generally still acknowledge me, but ordinary pedestrians tend not to. Not sure why that happens.
