I do something completely ridiculous when I run. Anytime I am passed by an oncoming car, I smile.
When I'm trotting along, out of breath and possibly delirious, this seems like a good idea. "Show people how FUN it is to run," I think to myself. "It might inspire someone to try it!"
Last night as I was running and flashing my awkward, tired, slightly fake grin, I realized that this could backfire in two different ways:
1. My smile might look so bad when I'm running that it might appear to be a grimace.
2. Say someone DOES try running because I looked so damn happy doing it. Five minutes in, they'll just be thinking, "That bitch is crazy!"
Still, it's kind of a habit now, so I'll probably keep doing it.

Well, they'd have to catch me first!
I try to look sleepy while I'm running just to make people think it's easy.
