that drives me insanely crazy and i just about rip the person apart

+1. my brother was just talking about that the other day..about how his football stuff is harder than running. yet he admits he can only do like 1-2 laps on the track.
& I hate when we're doing intervals like in a park or neighborhood & there are people just walking around or riding their bike. it makes me so mad..cause here we are doing these tough workouts and they're just walking around to get exercise. I just wish that they would get out of the way. they don't even have to be bothering us..their presence just annoys me.

You are all a bunch of intolerant bigots.

It's a public park.
You are a ignorant person who thinks you are the only person that needs exersise. They probably don't like you there eithier and they were the before you.
You people complain about everyone being obese and you show dis-respect towards other people exersising.

umm, no. I never said that they had to go away. I just said that I don't like when I'm doing a hard workout & people are leisurely walking around.
how are you to know that they were there before me?
trust me, I'm all for people getting exercise. I encourage that. so why would I think that I'm the only one that needs exercise?

It is just you come off as a HUGE BITCH is all.

ok, well sorry. it's just my opinion. I'm honestly not a b****. anyone that knows me would say that.
PTZ, do you base that on that comment or previous ones as well?

the guy who runs an 800 warm-up faster than he's ever ran in a race, ever. flies past everyone, then barely even runs the actual run

ok, I see how that came across as b*****. but it wasn't meant to be. it's just a pet peeve. next time I'll try to be more considerate of others.

+1 Or people who can do more push ups then you insisting that they can run faster after you have beaten them in sprinting and distance PE exam

people who chew with there mouths open.
people who sprint and walk during a race.
sprinters[not all, just the non-workers who say they could school me in a mile when ive beaten them in PE by more than a minute.]
anyone who's had more than 10 boyfriends in a year.
little kids running a 5K who run the first quarter mile faster than me, turn around, cut me off, cut the entire course, yet still lose even though they've only done a mile and a half.
walkers who start in front of me and dont let me out.
people who just turn around suddenly during a race.

Just because they don't hook up with you man. If all the cheerleaders loved you it would be a different story.

If all the cheerleaders here loved me, I think I might change schools. Here, it's all the girls who think "Hmmmm....I'm really fat. Maybe If I do cheerleading all the boys will suddenly like me no matter how much I look like a whale." It's also all the girls who fail to make field hockey and soccer.

People who think xc/track isn't a sport

The Waterboy wrote:People who think xc/track isn't a sport

thats what I was thinking too. I was talking to a guy about track and he was like fighting with me that it's not a real sport. ??

people who think they could do a mile as fast as you, but have never actually tried it, and say, "i know i can do it tho"
lazy people who say they could never run, when in fact they're just too lazy to try it

people who think they can just do 3-6 miles easy everyday and still be good.

People who hog the inside lanes of the track.

LOL I just realized this like 3 weeks ago. It's okay though, I'm getting up there.

THREAD HIJACK

What mileage do you think I should be at in singles before I start doubling?

the smell of food while running

Well what mileage are you at now? 35 would be a good point before you do any significant doubles.

i hate:

-people who breathe way to hard and you can feel their brath on the back of your neck
-when you can hear people's shoes clunk when they run
-shorts that ride up
-annoying people that insist on running with you
-spitting way way more than needed

{3 of these apply to one person on my team}

what hurdle gurl said, the person that runs about 1 step ahead of you the whole time.

*Getting honked at by creepy strangers

*when its an easy run but your friend treats it as a tempo, and makes you look reallly slow.

*doing intervals and the person races the first 2 400's but can barely finish the last half of the workout (but makes an excuse of why they cant..NO YOU WERE STUPID AND WENT OUT TO HARD grr)

*throwers that bring a whole freakin picnic on the track bus and you have to smell food the entire way there

*people that wont stop for you during a run (I mean like cars & cross walks)

*really dumb people, and anything they do doesnt make sense.

*religous people that insist on converting you. like those mormans that ride around on bikes.. lol

*people that dont wash their hands after going to the bathroom.

*other team coaches/parents that are talking about you when you run like "PASS HER, she looks really tired c'mon!! look at her arms, shes getting tired!!" that drives me nuts especially because I'm not as tired as they make it seem.

pet peeve/story: We were doing intervals on the track, I got stuck behind some freshmen boy who would sprint when I tried passing him. It was really annoying because my coach kept telling me to get ahead of him, but when he would slow down I would try to pass he would go balls out and sprint, (Im' terrible at sprinting) so anyone like that.

OH and when I say I want to run alone (I hate running with people ) and they get all offended. then they take it out on you by trying to beat you the entire time..
^ I seem to get this problem alot. =/
