The more I run on a more frequented trail, the more runners I see, and of course they all happen to be shod, mostly in boat anchors. I'm barefoot, or in my huaraches, happy, smiling, and enjoying myself. I try to acknowledge these people (as I was always taught is polite) and nod and smile . I know that some of them are probably very serious and in training mode, but it doesn't take any extra energy to look someone in the eye, and either nod, smile, or whatever.
Is it me? Is it the huaraches or lack of shoes altogether? I wasn't a runner until this past year, so I'm wondering if I'm not supposed to make eye contact or something. Or do I just continue on my merry way and continue to feel sorry for these runners who look like they're being tortured. <---(I would only make this face once they can't see me.)
