Things that make you go GRRRRR.... (Part 2)

It certainly was. Most runners there are sound, but you do get the odd one who doesn't seem to grasp the concept of 'other people'.

Today I got done with the old 'overtake then brake' routine twice, and would have been chuntering crossly by the end, if I'd had any breath left.

Are you a parkrunner too?

too early start for me (I was reading til 3am) but I've done the Cambridge Milton parkrun, and colleagues were running the Wimpole Hall today.

I'm more an evening runner (when I do go for a run) but have done it once. I remember having to decide which runners in the group I should overtake because they were going at a slower pace and which I should try to keep in sight as they were going at a pace that would meet my goal (which was a sub 25 min time) and this worked for me. Fairly sure I didn't go past anyone just to slow up, but that last 400m felt tough

I find that running with lots of company helps, because you can tag on behind other runners to 'pull' you round, or use other runners as 'targets' to aim for. On the whole, I much prefer it to running on my own, although parkruns can be a bit crowded at the start.

I did some window shopping earlier today, after a visit to the library, but hadn't planned on it and when it came to buy something in Top Shop found I'd left my purse in my handbag, not the gymbag that I took with me. Slightly embarrassing...

I went into the gym, fifth time this week, mainly to do a little bit of technique work then a long spell in the steam room, but instead it was a long spell in the gym and a quick shower. Duh

Studying a lot for what is supposed to be an exam that will have a significant affect on your grade, only for it to end up being a true/false and multi. choice test.

I could have answered the majority of the questions with an essay. Yay for low standards.

Waking up an hour easy before my alarm goes off and being unable to fall back asleep. Usually not a big deal, but when your alarm was supposed to go off at 4AM . . . . .

Getting punched in the face when I go to give my wife who is still sleeping a goodbye hug. Walked in the room, she started moving around stretching so she was awake (lights on and everything) and as soon as I bend over WHACK!!!! right in my left eye as she starts screaming. For some reason she she has this paranoia about somebody coming to our apartment (on the 5th floor) to rob it or kill us (we're not important people in any sense).

Good freaking morning, hope you have a horrible day.

My female friends. I'm not a popular guy so I've only had a few, but without fail I'll end up really good friends with them for a while, have a lot of laughs, get quite close (but instantly friendzoned) and then without fail they get a boyfriend and then completely ignore me for the rest of our lives.
I'm going to assume they've all been desperately in love with me and now can't talk to me for fear of their feelings rushing over and them feeling guilty to their current partner. Looking at myself objectively that's completely understandable but still.

Normally I would tell people not to date from the friendzone. But I think your missing a trick here. If you're "instantly friendzoned" the door is open. Walk through it.

...and the problem of having male friends when in a relationship is every time you bring them up in conversation, they call, if you meet at the gym, your partner is asking (like they're competition) I've had this even with married friends. It's the partners insecurity but awkward nonetheless.

I've still got hurty knee from when I glanced my right on Wednesday doing KB Double Snatches with 2 x 12kg, didn't stop me finishing my set, because it was still my set. Technically, I can do them, but with two there just isn't enough space between the legs

Ah. In the most recent case I did have her new bf message me after he caught a glimpse of a dirty joke between us. That makes a lot of sense.

Hope your knee feels better! I accidentaly jump kneed my thigh into my pad man's elbow earlier so I can join you in the hurty leg crew

You should try living my life. I get on well with my ex-wife, my wife and my ex-girlfriend, talk to them all often. I think it probably means I'm never going to move on but I've had my life now. Time to spend with my children now

People that put down the lid of the toilet in the office or gym who haven't had 6 poops in a non flushing bowl. You make me open the lid with such trepidation just because you have been whipped into performing this action at home.

Make a rule, lids stay up unless there is a malfunction. That way, I would never have to look 1 time in 3 into the face of death.
