[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading this, I waved to everyone this morning.  They looked surprised and happy and waved back.[/quote]

OP here.

I waved/smiled to all the women (and a couple of men). None of the women waved back. One man reciprocated, but I think we just "waved" at the same time.

Come on, women on the Mount Vernon Trail, Four Mile Run, and Potomac Yards trail. Show a little acknowledgement of others! [/quote]

OP, I’ve been a runner for 30+ years and grew up in this area.  Back when I started (in MoCo, where I currently live) the runner’s wave was common.  I remember my cross-country coach teaching us about it!  But I agree, it’s too often missed now, and, like this experience you just had, it’s mostly the women where I run who ignore it.  I’m also a woman, so I don’t get it—I’m not a creepy guy yelling “nice top” or something.  I’m a fellow runner.  Sometimes the men I see when I run do the wave.  Especially now, that solidarity would be so appreciated.[/quote]
