Meeting Strangers in the Dark

So this morning I was out for my morning 5K, as part of my December 5K a Day Challenge.  It was about 5:30 am so it was very, very dark...but there were street lights.

Anyway, coming up the street who do I see, but my husband - you know Jim.  I see him coming for probably a 10th of a mile or so.  I smile and say "Hi".  And what does he do?  He runs by me, gives me a head nod and says "Morning" and keeps on running.

He has NO IDEA who I am.  Just says "morning" to me like a complete stranger.  Say what???

I turn around and watch him run past me and I just say "dummy".  It never even registered to him that it was me.

I guess I understand, heck we've only been married 7 1/2 years.

Men......

For future reference sweetie, I'll generally look kind of like this when I'm out for a run.

  1. That is hysterical! I'd like to have seen the look on your face. I may wear a helmet when I run but I'd know my husband anywhere.

  14. I've run into friends before, and it usually takes me about a half a mile before I register who I've seen

  15. That's hilarious but as a guy runner, I probably would have done the same thing. I've had women runners say good morning Mike and my response was "morning" and I never figured out who it actually was. Guy runners don't say anything so no issues there :-).

  17. Perhaps he was just engrossed in his awesome 115 mile training run he needed to get done before work so he'd be rested enough to get in the remaining 35 after work. Haha! A great post. I love it.
