Forums >General Running>Funny - I scared a guy on the sidewalk today
So I run like CRAZY for 30 seconds and I think he thought I was a psycho charging at him because he got this really scared look on his face and hopped off the sidewalk...
Today I thought I'd go out and do some intervals... which turned out to be really hilarious. Background info: I started out trying to run fast for 90 seconds then walk for 30, but I quickly realized (as in I couldn't make it to 90 seconds) that I was too much of a noob for that, and switched it to run 30/walk 90. I ran really, really fast on the run parts, literally running as fast as a could. The sidewalk is long and flat, you can see people coming in the distance from a long way away. Which is why this story is funny to me... Anyways... now the funny bit. There's this guy walking on the sidewalk coming in the opposite direction. I check my timer, and its time for a run interval. So I run like CRAZY for 30 seconds and I think he thought I was a psycho charging at him because he got this really scared look on his face and hopped off the sidewalk... I saw that guy approaching in the distance as I was doing my intervals towards him, I assumed he saw I was run/walking but evidently he wasn't aware of his surroundings and got freaked out... edit: actually I feel really mean laughing at this, though it was funny at the time...

Next time just yell and wave your hands in the air when you get close to him.
