Occasionally I'll do runs in race gear, i.e. trisuit.   People usually do double takes when they see someone run by it tight fitting lycra/spandex or whatever it is

Zilla - 2009-03-12 3:48 PM When I'm riding and I am at a stop light waiting with the cars I tend to take a drink then like to spit  When it's windy my nose runs constantly so I will blow my nose into my fingers and fling it to the side then wipe my fingers on my shorts.  What? All my delicate hankies were dirty that day!  That often gets that look of horrification from people.

We have GOT to teach you the farmer blow - cut out the mess on the hand/shorts.



Seriously, why all the extra steps? Just plug one nostril and blow. Then repeat on the other side and wipe any clingers/danglers/other riff raff with the soft terry cloth part of your gloves at the base of your thumb.

Once in a while my husband will ride his bike with me when I go on long runs. I enjoy the company but we often get funny looks. Sometimes people try to "warn" me that I'm being followed by a guy on a bike. On one run my husband was scolded for "making" me run while I was doing hill repeats.  We passed a little old lady 4 times and she gave him a dirty look and commented that it was wrong that men force there "women" to exercise to stay skinny. My husband was laughing so hard he nearly fell off his bike as I was the one who dragged him out to keep me company.

No worries ... I can farmer blow like a champ ... I"m talking about the watery runny nose that's already all out the nose and all over your face ... not the goopy snot rocket consistency. 

glad we cleared that one up...

scoobysdad - 2009-03-13 8:23 AM  I don't shave in the shower, but let's just say being shaved and in the shower occasionally draws a sideways look.

Dude!?!

Be still my beating heart!  Zilla you are a catch and a half!!

Proudest day of my life was when I taught my daughter the bushman's hankie (as we call it in Oz). My wife on the other hand, not so impressed!!

Maybe if he wasn't poking you with a stick to keep pace, the lady might have not given him a dirty look.
