i get that the honk is probably supposed to be a compliment or mabye it's another runner saying hello...but really it just bugs me!

I don't like honkers either. I mean, what's the point? Just keep driving and go about your business.

To "MOORE ON RUNNING," my boyfriend's sister (24 years old) did that to me on several occasions. She honked at me. She drove up to me and slowly followed me. She drove up to me and followed me and rolled the windows down and said stuff like, "You want a ride?"
I explained to her how that was distracting and how that also confuses my dog that is running with me. Because after her, the dog will assume all vehicles are gonna slow down. I told her when I run, I usually am thinking about a lot of things - pace, work etc. so it is best that she just slows down a little and drive by.
She hasn't done that since and I love it.

I have friends that say they saw me running and honked at me. I tell them to quit! I can't see who it is and I may just not be so polite :)

I hate the honking thing. Totally throws me off.
I've heard such awesome things about the Newtons that now I think I'll look into those for my next pair o shoes.
Love the car. I used to have one. Sigh...now I have a mommy car.

I love the blow a kiss instead of the finger thing!! haha that is awesome! They just honked because they saw a hottt ninja runner but next time tell them just to wave!

2010-02-23T19:03:30.891-08:00

Grrr! I hate honkers! I mean sometimes it can be flattering--but there's really no point. Honk and then drive away, almost as if to say "If we were at a night club I may have come and talked to you but you're running and I'm driving so I'll just honk my horn annoyingly as some wretched sign of communication."

Honking always scares me. I'm a bit jumpy by nature, so I really jump when someone hits the horn.

Way to go on your treadmill intervals! Speedy!

OMG! I hate it when people honk at me! Generally its my family trying to be funny but i've told them not to honk until they've passed me because it seriously makes me so scared my heart races! And dont even get me started on creepy semis.. AHHHH

2010-02-23T13:59:32.242-08:00

Last summer I was running in the neighborhood and a car of teenage boys came up behind me and honked and I jumped so high...they were hysterical. I was so mad! I tried to follow them to talk to their parents, but couldn't keep up. :) Your Grammy sounds like a great lady!

2010-02-23T13:15:40.195-08:00

Oh the honkers...I get them when I am on my bike too. I feel like asking them when the last time they went running or biking...Rude people...goes back to what I said last week..."You're Not a RUnner...You wouln't understand"

Beautiful pictures. Loving this weather and I am so excited for SPRING and SUMMER!

2010-02-23T13:05:28.398-08:00

ugh, i hate honnkers! i don't even look, i just wave, weather they actually know me or are just being jerks i ignore all types of honkers. i dont get it though, do people think they are flattering us or something? it IS annoying and it SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF US! running is so relaxing, i HATE when ppl honk at me. one time i was running a race on halloween that was run on a pretty main road, i was over heating in my costume so i begun to strip out of it as i was running...boy did that create a lot of honking! lol. but i'd take a honker ANYDAY over the guys that hang out the window int he trucks, ya know when there are like 3 guys in the front seat and hone hangs out and turns his head back and stares, LOL

I don't get honkers. But I do like your (and your Grammy's) method of blowing kisses to them!

You are making me want some magical Newton shoes now!

2010-02-23T10:59:42.755-08:00

I get a lot of honks too, and I never know if it's people that I know (oftentimes I find out it is) or just stupid boys showing their appreciate for a girl running around town. Eew.

2010-02-23T10:21:48.150-08:00

People honking at you while running??? I don;t think anyone has ever honked at me but I would give yell at them if they did.

I was on a run on Sunday and it was snowing hard. I was the only one out and there were very few cars. I had my Ipod on but not very loud and I heard a car coming up behind me on the other side of the road all of the sudden a black lab was barking and running past me. His bark sounded like he wanted to eat me (and I am very comfortable with large dogs). My heart started pounding so bad. The truck was running the dog - now why can't these lazy people just get out and walk their dogs. My brother does this and my brother is one who could really use the walk.

The truck was gone before I had time to react and I was very upset.

2010-02-23T09:31:19.869-08:00

They must honk because they think we don't notice them and they giant vehicles barring down on us puny little runners.

Blowing kisses would be nicer. I am usually trying to pull my skin back on after they startle me so I rarely wave, smile, or anything.

oh, it's spring in your neck of the woods! And I'm watching the snow fall and looking at my treadmill...: )

2010-02-23T08:27:08.250-08:00

I hate honkers! Not really hate, but just they aggravate me! The people I actually hate are the honkers/yellers. In the summer I constantly get the old men yelling "lift up your shirt" or even worse. Definitely jerks!!

2010-02-23T08:08:55.117-08:00

I Think we live in the honkingest (if that can even be used as a word)place out of all of the fifty states! I still wouldn't trade it for anywhere else, especially with our spring weather lately. Thanks for the post it made me laugh out loud.

2010-02-23T07:51:19.838-08:00

Honkers are lonely.

I love your grandma's kiss blowing! that is too cute!

Good job on the sprinting! I think that is pretty scary on a treadmill!

2010-02-23T07:16:06.155-08:00

I guess I'm pretty lucky since I haven't had to deal with honkers yet. The weirdest thing about this tiny town I live in is that no matter what pedestrians really do always have the right of way and motorist actually abide by that, weird!

2010-02-23T06:55:58.707-08:00

Ugh, I hate honkers. When I run, I zone out. I know there.s a car there but it always makes me jump outta my skin. I like the blowing a kiss idea. But don't you get any weirdos trying to talk to you if you blow kisses? (I'm southern I can't just give random strangers the finger :))

I'm totally buying some newtons at the expo on friday. But only if they have the hot pink ones.
