I was out wogging (walk/jogging) yesterday in the park where there is a 1 mile road around the perimeter. So, a guy runs by me - a real fit runner - and says 'hi'. Then each time he'd lap me (which was often) he'd smile or say something. After about half an hour, when he was lapping me again, he looked back and said "You're doing really well". Wow, I was pumped for the rest of my jog. Even though I'm sure he was just encouraging me it felt so good to have someone even notice I was there.
It really made my day.

Those are the kind of folks we like! It's great to have a good word like that.

as a kid i loved to run... now i just can't run far, but i'd love to try again after a few more pounds. it's fear of jerks that prevent me. i'm glad there are good people out there too!

It's nice that you bumped into somebody encouraging. I wish there were more people like that!

When I go out jogging (which at present I rarely do) I fear that I'll bump into somebody horrible.

what a great feeling. When i go jogging/walking, i have to wait until most every one is gone from work. I am so scared people are going to be thinking...oh my gosh...is that as much as she can jog at one time?? you know, stuff like that. I don't know why i care, but i do. although most people are really proud of the weight i've lost, but still.....

That is so awesome that someone said something so nice!! What a great feeling!!!

How cool! I love it when stuff like that happens.

Wogging ... I like that!

I hope you got his number. What a nice thing to say!! I know when I'm heavier people honk at me as I'm jogging down the road, but as I get my nice hourglass figure back....even at 220 I get whistles. I LOVE that feeling...it really makes you want to go longer!

Lol. I've noticed that most walkers/runners are very friendly that I pass on the sidewalk/trails that I run, unless they're invested in their iPod or something of that nature. Everyone smiles and says hi.

Maybe it's just something about the personality of joggers/runners/walkers/ and even "woggers" in your case (nice word, btw.)

How terribly sweet! I bet you feel great!

Not only would that make my day..... I think that would make my week.....hehehehehe !!! Keep up the great work !!!!
